Tech Companies Fight Back After Years of Being Deluged with Secret FBI Requests
The FBI’s decision to ask companies for everything and let them figure out what they’re required to turn over has had the effect of potentially putting smaller companies with fewer resources at a disadvantage, say national security attorneys. Without expensive legal representation and a familiarity with the law, companies might turn over more content than is necessary.You'd think the FBI wouldn't be able to just demand all kinds of stuff they have no legal right to.It's sad that the current state of our legal and political systems allows this sort of tactic to be effective and go unpunished.
