Google is protesting the federal government’s plan to make it easier for the FBI to hack into the computers of Americans trying to keep their online activity anonymous.
In a letter to the U.S. government posted Tuesday, Google’s director for information security and law enforcement, Richard Salgado, said the proposed amendment to federal Rule 41 “raises a number of monumental and highly complex constitutional, legal and geopolitical concerns that should be left to Congress to decide.”
The National Journal first reported about the letter Wednesday.
