Advocacy Groups Write to AG on Privacy
A coalition of advocacy groups sent a letter to Attorney General John Ashcroft on Carnivore, government surveillance, and medical records. The groups urged the Attorney General to give ISPs more control over the Carnivore monitoring system, and to ensure that adequate audit trails are in place. The groups also advocated an update of privacy laws to account for recent advances in surveillance technology. Finally, the groups requested changes to the portions of the HIPAA privacy regulations that allow law enforcement access to patient records without court review.Letter to Attorney General John Ashcroft, EPIC Web Site, May 2, 2001.
