EFF atakes a look back at 2012 and the influnce it has (will have) on our digtal rights.
"So while 2012 turned out to be an eventful year in the fight for email privacy, 2013 is shaping up to be an even bigger one. More courts will be grappling with whether there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in not only email, but also other forms of electronic data like tweets and files stored in the cloud. And the full Congress could well take up ECPA reform, hopefully allowing the positive steps taken to update ECPA by the Senate Judiciary Committee to go forward, without requiring other important privacy rights to be sacrificed instead."
