Tamar Gubins ’09 has published an op-ed in the Daily Journal, California’s largest legal news provider, asserting that electronic privacy law is badly outdated. A technology and civil liberties policy associate at the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, Gubins notes that the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA)—created to protect the privacy of electronic communications and personal information from inappropriate government or third-party demands—was written before many modern technologies existed. The op-ed, available here, describes how Internet users and businesses are affected by inadequate legal standards and offers suggestions to help make the ECPA compatible with today’s digital world.
