The fourth amendment to the US Constitution took a serious hit today. Congress has just approved warrantless wiretapping. The news is leaving many civil rights activists disappointed.
In a move that strangely resembles what happened in Sweden two days ago, in spite of fierce opposition, the US congress has approved immunity for Internet Service Providers and telecommunication companies who participated in the president backed warrantless wiretapping program in the United States. All of this was approved in spite of fierce opposition to telecom amnesty which is found in the current FISA legislation.
