the outdated ECPA (Electronic Communications Privacy Act) rules (written in the ‘80s) that cover law enforcement‘s ability to get access to your data, such as emails. The laws make almost no sense today, as they were written in a time when the internet was much more limited. The idea of everyone storing pretty much all of their information and communications online wasn‘t even a concept at the time — and that creates bizarre and nonsensical rules, like arguing that emails that have been on a server for more than 180 days are considered „abandoned“ and no warrant is needed to view them.
