A White House petition demanding reform of the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) to prevent undue snooping on
Americans’ online communications hit the 100,000 signature benchmark,
forcing a government response.
The
petition calling for a review of the 1986 act, which extended
government restrictions on wire taps to include transmissions of
electronic data by computer, reached the required number of
signatures for a White House review on its December 21st
deadline.
All petitions which reach the recently
increased 100,000 threshold will be reviewed by officials in
the presidential administration and an official response will be
issued.
“Americans are deeply concerned about NSA surveillance,”
the petition read.
