The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) protects e-mail messages from unauthorized interception. It prohibits interception of electronic communications without the sender's consent or court order, and also provides civil and criminal penalties for violators. The First Amendment protects freedom of speech, but does not specifically address the privacy of electronic communications. The GLB Privacy Act of 1999 and COPPA address privacy in the context of financial information and children's personal information, respectively, but do not specifically apply to e-mail messages.
