STOP Rule 41 — FBI should not get Legal Power to Hack Computers Worldwide


We have been hearing a lot about Rule 41 after the US Department of Justice has pushed an update to the rule.

The change to the Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure grants the FBI much greater powers to hack legally into any computer across the country, and perhaps anywhere in the world, with just a single search warrant authorized by any US judge.

However, both civil liberties groups and tech companies have blasted the proposed change, saying it is an affront to the Fourth Amendment and would allow the cops and Feds in America to hack remotely into people’s computers and phones around the world.
