Alexa, get a warrant.

In a major win for digital privacy, Utah became the first state in the nation to ban warrantless searches of electronic data. Under the Electronic Information or Data Privacy Act (HB 57), state law enforcement can only access someone’s transmitted or stored digital data (including writing, images, and audio) if a court issues a search warrant based on probable cause. Simply put, the act ensures that search engines, email providers, social media, cloud storage, and any other third-party “electronic communications service” or “remote computing service” are fully protected under the Fourth Amendment (and its equivalent in the Utah Constitution).

HB 57 also contains provisions that promote government transparency and accountability. In most cases, once agencies execute a warrant, they must then notify owners within 14 days that their data has been searched. Even more critically, HB 57 will prevent the government from using illegally obtained digital data as evidence in court.


This needs to be enacted everywhere.

clever trap. Announcing that data is secure will lure all the criminals into putting their data there. Now the NSA (who is above the law, obviously) knows exactly where to look.

Does anyone have the original wiki data dump assange released?

I was reading through it for days and then realized they were actually removing files from within.

Assuming someone on jsp was smarter then me and backed the 88 gigz to an external HD.

I want to verify a few things. Pm me.

Does this mean that they will also not be able to do profiling on large numbers of people? I agree with the privacy concerns, but that does sound like a missed opportunity to me.

So you admit that grooming children for bigamist relationships is inherently right wing.
