The efforts to reform ECPA — the Electronic Communications and Privacy Act — have been going on for basically two decades at this point. The law, which was passed in 1986, has a whole bunch of problems, with the biggest one (as we‘ve discussed dozens of times) being that it considers any email that‘s been on a server for more than 180 days „abandoned,“ and thus freely searchable by law enforcement without a warrant. That‘s because there was no concept of cloud computing back in 1986. People who got email „retrieved“ those emails off of a server and downloaded them to local storage. Many in Congress have been trying to fix this for so, so, so many years. And it always gets blocked.
