Weissman argued that the current law of 1994, which applies to telecommunications companies failed to follow the progress of technology, indicating that the new legislation was needed to specifically target Internet. The proposal, which would let authorities monitor people's email accounts, for example, is unlikely to go down too well with the activists in online privacy.
