Mozilla, Reddit, Twitter and others in the battle for privacy

A group of seven Internet companies are trying to defend the privacy of their users, as this week the United States House of Representatives is reviewing the law USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act for 2020.

Mozilla, Engine, , Reform Surveillance, Twitter, i2Coalition και Patreon ζήτησαν από τέσσερις αμερικανούς νομοθέτες να απαγορεύσουν ρητά τη χωρίς άδεια συλλογή του ιστορικού αναζήτησης και περιήγησης στο Δια.

"We hope that lawmakers will amend the bill to limit government access to our Internet browsing and search history without a warrant," Mozilla said in a post. in the blog.

"Search and browsing history is still being collected and stored on the web. We believe that this data deserves strong legal protection when the government seeks access to it, but in many cases this protection is uncertain. "

In a letter [PDF] to the four members of the US House of Representatives, the group said that privacy and security are essential for the economy, business and the continued development of a free and open internet.

"Congress can help maintain user trust and facilitate continued use of the Internet as a strong contribution to our recovery," the team said.

The companies said that search and browsing history can provide a detailed privacy portrait of internet users and can reveal very sensitive information such as medical conditions, religious beliefs and personal relationships. Thus it should be protected by effective legal safeguards.

The Senate considered μια τροπολογία για να αντιμετωπίσει τις ανησυχίες που έθεσε η ομάδα στην επιστολή της. Ανέφεραν ότι η τροποποίηση θα απαγόρευε ρητώς τη χρήση του άρθρου 215 του USA PATRIOT Act για τη χωρίς νόημα συλλογή ιστορικού αναζήτησης και περιήγησης.

"Congress must seize this opportunity to resolve any potential ambiguities and provide strong legal protections for the entire search and browsing history."
