Updated to reflect the reality of global data and internal data exchange via the World Wide Web.
Summary of the main issue- the 1986 act needs to be updated to reflect the reality of global data and internal data exchange via the World Wide Web. Ethical Implication, Remedies and Solutions
The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) 1986 deals with three main issues: (1) the protection of communications while in transfer from sender to receiver; (2) the protection of communications held in electronic storage; and (3) the prohibition of devices from recording dialing, routing, addressing, and signaling information without a search warrant. The ECPA makes it a crime to intercept or obtain electronic communications unless otherwise provided for under law or an exception to ECPA.
