A recent California Court of Appeal decision to eviscerate the protections of The Stored Communications Act poses severe privacy risks for all users and especially those within the LGBTQ+ community. In response, @LGBT Tech with @McDermott Will & Emery as legal counsel has filed a letter urging the California Supreme Court to review this case and uphold the important and long-held privacy protections relied so heavily upon by LGBTQ+ individuals.
