- The Controversy Of Lawful Intercept Of The Internet
US Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act, known for short as CALEA, mandates that gear from all telephone companies makes it easy to use a wire tap. So, these items must be CALEA compliant. The originations of this act was in 1994 and the reason was to make cellular phones compliant with wiretapping just like land lines already were. However, some things have changed since then and now cellular phones and landlines aren’t the only way to communicate. Today, the Internet and VOiP make it difficult to tap certain individuals involved in activities where law enforcement officials would need to be involved and possibly need to tap their conversations. So, CALEA wants to include wire tapping for VOiP. There is some controversy over this however because people don’t want to think that their phone conversations over the Internet can be tapped and then others are worried about where the bounds of privacy lie of if there are any. Besides, why would any government have the right to tap anything on the Internet in the first place? There is a lot to consider when it comes to network monitoring and lawful intercept.
