Default Human Rights groups furious about new US warrant law

The Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Tor Project are rallying human rights groups to fight against law changes that would allow coppers and spooks vast new surveillance authorities and undermine anonymity online.

Currently Rule 41 only authorises federal magistrate judges to issue warrants to conduct searches in the judicial district where the magistrate is located. The new Rule 41 would for the first time authorize magistrates to issue warrants when “technological means,” like Tor or virtual private networks (VPNs), are obscuring the location of a computer. The rule would authorise warrants to remotely access, search, seize, or copy data on computers, wherever in the world they are located.

The EFF and more than 40 partner organisations are holding a day of action for a new campaign—noglobalwarrants.org—to warn citizens about the dangers of Rule 41 and push U.S. lawmakers to oppose it.
