The Department of Justice is asserting the right to read anyone's email pretty much whenever they would like. They are pushing Yahoo on this in court, but Google and others are rushing to Yahoo's defense. I guess our government is taking cues from China now on how to regulate the internet. Apparently the Fourth Amendment conveniently doesn't apply to the internet. And I thought these abuses were supposed to end under this new enlightened Administration. Guess like they all these power grabs after all.

UPDATE: DOJ Abandons Warrantless Attempt to Read Yahoo Emails. For now...
