1. Short title This Act may be cited as the International Communications Privacy Act . 2. Congressional findings and declaration of purpose Congress finds the following: (1) The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 ( Public Law 99–508 ; 100 Stat. 1848) (referred to in this section as ECPA ) was intended to protect the privacy of electronic communications and related records stored with providers of electronic communications services and remote computing services, while providing law enforcement agencies with the appropriate legal tools to compel production of information from such providers. (2) ECPA authorized governmental entities to obtain certain categories of communications data from providers using established, pre-existing forms of process, including search warrants and subpoenas. It also created a new form of court order, in section 2703(d) of title 18, United States Code, that governmental entities could use to obtain additional types of communications data. (3) Congress recognizes that there are often many interests that must be recognized when law enforcement agencies seek information from providers, such as— (A) the legitimate needs of law enforcement agencies in the United States to obtain, through lawful process, electronic communications relevant to criminal investigations; (B) the privacy interests of all customers of the services offered by electronic communication service providers
