Contrary to the general belief, e-mail is not a form of private or secure communication. This widespread misunderstanding for employees has repeatedly brought legal conflicts and moral dilemmas. "This situation has occurred one million times a day in offices all over the world, employees are doing personal things to talk to colleagues, send a message on it and send it as an e-mail We assume that all content sent via e-mail to be sent is private.

Today, Reps.Jared Polis and Kevin Yoder resumed the E - mail Privacy Act (2015 edition) and were asked by law enforcement authority before accessing our e - mail and other electronic communications. This bill was first introduced in 2013 to modify the loophole of the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA). In the spring of last year, the House of Representatives unanimously passed the bill at 418 - 0, but the progress of the bill was stagnant in the Senate. Senator Cornyn (R - TX) proposed an additional amendment to allow the FBI to collect spam email metadata and other information using national security documents.

The Federal Attorney General of Pennsylvania ordered Google to search a series of e-mails stored on foreign servers to comply with domestic license orders. The House of Representatives passed the "Email Privacy Act". This requires the law enforcement agency to obtain an approval order to retrieve the stored data. The bill is going to be transferred to the Senate, and the Senate has been stagnant until 2016. US Army, Navy and Air Force senior commander testified in Parliament that the US military military personnel were short due to recent budget cuts and were improperly prepared. US Army officer Arin testified that at current budget level, only three of the 50 Army battle teams can be deployed at once.

The bill entitled H. R. 387 is ultimately called the "Email Privacy Act" and discusses the eligibility of authorities' email. The Department of Justice and other agencies need to obtain search guarantee before accessing e-mail and other electronic communications for 180 days or more. This is a bipartisan law, originally introduced by Kansas Republican Kevin Yoder and Colorado Democrat Jared Polis. The existing electronic communication law is entitled "Electronic Communication Privacy Act". Under the current law, the authorities can obtain data by issuing a summons to the Internet service. Judicial approval is not currently required, but the bill hopes to change this. In the 113th convention, the "law on privacy protection of e-mails" did not go through the subcommittee stage. The 114th Congress saw that this law developed further, but we entered the Senate to weaken the amendment. This time, the 115th Congress will accept it again.
