Feds Want to Spy on Tomorrow’s Technology
Invent a new communications technology recently? If so, beware: the U.S. government may require you to build it in a way that will enable federal agents to eavesdrop by court order. Otherwise, the New York Times’s Charlie Savage reports, you’ll end up paying a court-ordered fine.
