The Email Privacy Act

Designed to reform and update the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), the Email Privacy Act has been hailed as a much needed directive to restructure the ECPA regulations that came into being in 1986, well before the existence of the World Wide Web. Add to that the melee of the current presidential reforms, the passing of the Email Privacy Act has now become an urgent requisite than a reform.
