If the White House has its way, the FBI will be granted access to the Internet activity of terror and intelligence suspects without a court order. The activity covered under the proposal would include all data on email sent or received, and possibly Internet surfing history, but not email contents or search history. Supporters of the measure compare it to the FBI’s ability to access phone records without court authority.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
