The Law Librarian Blog points out a fairly scary aspect of the newly ratified Convention of Cybercrime:
Called by many the “world’s worst Internet Law,” the Senate ratified the Convention of Cybercrime last week, five years after the US signed it. Why so controversial? The treaty mandates that Internet providers must cooperate with electronic searches and seizures, and that one country must conduct electronic surveillance “in real time” on behalf of another government even if citizens of the complying country are not suspected of committing a crime under their law. For example, the FBI would be required to monitor you even when your actions are not covered under any federal criminal law if China requests it because China believes you have committed a cybercrime under Chinese law.
