Recent Federal Legislation

Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act  FOSTA

 Shifts responsibility for sex trafficking from posters to hosters. Craigslist has taken down its personals section.

Clarifying Overseas Use of Data Act.  CLOUD act.

 Interesting in that the provisions of the bill were never debated, marked up, nor publicized. Just an added provision to the spending budget bill.
 Allows contents of wire or electronic communications and any record or other information if those contents are stored in servers overseas regardless of the privacy laws in that country. Allows the President to enter into agreements with other countries to share private electronic communications and data of individuals regardless of privacy laws of each country.
 Italics mine
