Netflix social-sharing bill passes House without e-mail provision
The House has passed a bill backed by Netflix that would allow Facebook users to share video-viewing habits, but privacy advocates are unhappy that a revision to e-mail laws wasn't approved as part of the House's legislation. A provision passed in the Senate version of the bill required law-enforcement authorities to obtain a search warrant before reading e-mails older than 180 days, but that was stripped out in a House committee and is unlikely to be revisited in this session of Congress. "We shouldn't do privacy reform piecemeal. We can't give priority to special interests," says ACLU counsel Chris Calabrese.
