Do ISPs' Policies Allow Them to Monitor E-mail?
posted by scubacuda on Friday July 09, @01:57AM
from the dept.
News Doug Isenberg writes "In an article about the U.S. v. Councilman decision, The New York Times wrote: "Because most major Internet providers have explicit policies against reading their customers' e-mail messages, the ruling would seem to have little effect on most people."

I wanted to see whether this was really true, so I went looking for these "explicit policies" at the big three ISPs in the United States -- AOL, MSN and EarthLink -- and I have my doubts. Read my findings in the GigaLaw.com blog entry, "Do ISPs' Policies Allow Them to Monitor E-mail?" at http://www.gigalaw.com/2004/07/do-isps-policies-al low-them-to-monitor.html"

    The whole email thing is having a shake-up. Google's plans will pave the way to change. See ROiWeb [roiweb.biz] for more discussion.
