Definición

  • Carnivore is a controversial surveillance system used by the FBI to search email posts sent by identified criminal suspects during investigations. But the system—which some claim became controversial mainly for its name rather than its capabilities—has come under fire from opponents ranging from the liberal-leaning American Civil Liberties Union to staunchly conservative U.S. senators, all of whom worry that the technology could be used to spy on the public.
