Senate Panel Considers ECPA Updates

Members of the Digital Due Process coalition told Senate Judiciary Committee members they need an update to Electronic Communications Privacy Act to support the growth of new technologies, like cloud computing. CCIA filed a statement for the hearing Wednesday.

Senator Leahy closed out the Senate hearing by indicating that staff would be working on this issue even when Congress is out of session, and he was also looking for legislative language. The Administration has not yet taken a position on any of the DDP proposals.
