On today’s SiliconANGLE’s Live NewsDesk Show, (see embed feed below or visit youtube.com/siliconangle to watch on-demand), we learn about how The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI believe they don’t need a search warrant to review Americans’ e-mails, Facebook chats, Twitter direct messages, and other private files, internal documents obtained by the ACLU reveal.

Joining us now to tell us more about the beliefs of the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI is SiliconANGLE Contributing Editor John Casarreto. (See the live broadcast, embed below ~ if you missed today’s topic, check our YouTube channel for archived clips.)

Some of the things we’ll be discussing with Casarreto include, why the Justice Department prosecutors and investigators believe they’re not legally required to obtain search warrants for e-mail, the IRS publicly saying last month they would abandon such a bill, what this mean for Americans’ private files, and how companies like Amazon, Apple, AT&T, eBay, Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Twitter are trying to get the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) updated.
