Government Gives Its Internet Surveillance Program a Privacy Okay
A Justice Department Memo Dated August 14 was released this month that gives an okay to the federal wide special surveillance program called Einstein II. The program was initiated to track visitors to government agency web sites or sending e-mail to government employees personal accounts if it is accessed from work. It is stated that persons assumes the risk that their communications are being monitored. The memo failed to explain how a sender of a message would know if the recipient was at work or not or how they would control access to a message if they did not want government collection of the information.
