FBI Documents Show Scope of Internet Surveillance

Wayne Madsen

Abstract

According to documents released to the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) on 4 December 2000, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is not only expanding the role of Carnivore to interact with other electronic surveillance systems but is marketing the tool to other Federal and state law enforcement agencies. The documents were released pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request and a subsequent US Federal Court order.
