FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Wireless Industry Association Opposes Bill That Would Require Warrant For Them To Turn Data Over To Law Enforcement
April 23rd, 2012
Via: TechDirt:
You would think that it would be in the mobile operators’ best interest to protect their own customers’ privacy and to stand up for their basic rights. You would think, but apparently you’d be wrong. It appears that CTIA — the mobile operators’ industry association — is opposing an effort in California to require mobile operators to require a warrant before disclosing personal info. The bill also requires some basic reporting requirements for the companies, having them say how often info has been disclosed (hardly onerous info to track). Basically, the law asks that the mobile operators respect the 4th Amendment when dealing with law enforcement — something that the federal government has been successfully chipping away at for years.
But the CTIA is against all of this (pdf), claiming that it would be “confusing” for mobile operators.
… the wireless industry opposes SB 1434 as it could create greater confusion for wireless providers when responding to legitimate law enforcement requests
The crux of the “confusion” apparently is that the definitions in the bill are somewhat broader than what the industry says is standard, and they’re afraid that this means “It could place providers in the position of requiring warrants for all law enforcement requests.” I’m struggling to see what the problem is here. What’s wrong with requiring warrants?
