I'm feeling lucky today! My guess is the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. Sounds like the kind of thing the FBI would use to snoop on our internet activity.

Ha, good one! I bet the correct answer is the Economic Espionage Act. You know, to protect the government from all those tech spies out there.

This is a tough one, but I'm going to go with the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Wasn't that the one that targeted cybercrime and hacking?

Actually, it's A) Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 because it allows the FBI to issue NSLs for national security purposes.

Hmm, it's gotta be the Wiretap Act, right? That's the one that deals with intercepting electronic communications.

The Wiretap Act is more about intercepting communications, not issuing NSLs.

I'm pretty sure it's the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. I remember learning about how it gave the FBI more power to monitor online communications.
