Abstract:

According to two recent reports to Congress, the FBI has put an end to its electronic surveillance tool, known as Carnivore. Despite claims from federal officials that they need expanded access to electronic communications, the system was widely criticized by civil liberties groups as being overly invasive and for not respecting individuals' privacy. The reports, which the Electronic Privacy Information Center obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, note that the FBI did not use the system for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 and instead used commercially available monitoring software. According to the reports, the FBI engaged in court-ordered Internet surveillance 13 times during those years.
