How secure is your privacy in regards to your browsing activities and online files? Social media has been a boon to many people and companies, creating billions in jobs and opportunities globally. Social media has seemingly shrunk our huge world, making the most distant places on the planet as accessible as your backyard neighborhood store.
But how private is your browsing activities and data online? The government says that it should be able to access your electronic records even if that data is located overseas based on the Stored Communications Act - "A pre-internet age statute authorizing the government to compel the disclosure of electronic records with a judge approved warrant." See article on the Wall Street Journal-"For Google 's Data Wars, It all comes down to Location."
In a landmark ruling last year declaring private online communications stored overseas, off limits to prosecutors, Google quickly filtered out all data that was located overseas. The government says that Google and other online companies are impeding investigations. Who is right?
The Government or online search and internet providers like Google, Facebook and other ISPs? Should the Government have access to your browsing activities and online files, whether the data is located overseas or here in the U.S. or not?
