The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) restricted the government's ability to intercept electronic communications such as email, fax, and text messages. It was passed in 1986 and updated in 2018. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) allows individuals to request access to federal agency records, the NSL gag provision allows the FBI to issue National Security Letters that restrict the recipient from disclosing that the letter was received, and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 expanded the government's surveillance powers.
