Deleting browser history is punishable by law?

Law in the browser too? In the early 2000s, former US Senators Paul Sarbanes and Michael Oxley introduced a bill to pressure the να συμμορφωθούν με τους ομοσπονδιακούς εισαγγελείς κατά τη investigations. It was largely a response to the Enron scandal in 2001, when an energy company was able to hide billions of dollars.

The bill, which was done , is known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and was signed by President Bush in 2002.law browser history

Since then, the Sarbanes-Oxley Law has discreetly provided the legal basis for prosecuting even deleting the browser's history.

Such is the case of Khairullozhon Matanov, an 24 former taxi driver who ate his meal with Tamerlan and Dhzokhar Tsarnaev the night after the bombings at the Boston Marathon.

Federal prosecutors accused Matanov of using the Sarbanes-Oxley law to destroy evidence in his browser, as reported by The Nation.

According to The Nation, Matanov learned that Tsarnaevs were suspicious of the bombing a few days after their meal, and went to report it to the local police station in Quincy, Massachusett.

But he allegedly told some lies to the police, such as when he prayed with Tamerlan. It was then discovered that he had also deleted his browsing history from his browser, as well as the by of.

In May 2014, after being watched by the FBI for more than a year, Matanov was charged with four counts of obstructing justice, namely "destroying any file, document, or tangible object with intent to obstruct a federal investigation." This charge could result in up to 20 years in prison, according to The Nation.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is largely related to corporate financial information, but one of its paragraphs, paragraph 802, imposes severe penalties for "destroying, concealing, falsifying files, documents, or material objects" that are intended to prevent or to delay a federal investigation.

Of course the vagueness of the law and the extended rhetoric of each judge allows it to be applied even to intangible, personal information stored in an online activity.
