BRIEFING </strong>— The Justice Department has serious concerns with the Law Enforcement Access to Data Stored Abroad Act, a bill backed by tech and telecom giants including Microsoft, Apple and Verizon. Agency officials made their views known to congressional aides late last week, sources tell Alex. The LEADS Act, first introduced last year, would block U.S. law enforcement from serving an American tech company with a warrant for foreign customers’ data if that data is stored outside the U.S. DOJ and Microsoft are locked in a legal battle over the issue.</p> <p class="story-continued">Story Continued Below</p> <div class="story-interrupt format-s pos-alpha predetermined"> <div class="interrupt-item ad"> <div class="ad-slot orient-vertical" id="morningtech_pol-05"> </div> </div> </div> <p>— <strong>THE BEEF</strong>: Speaking to around 20 congressional staffers last week as part of a broader discussion on email privacy, DOJ registered its displeasure with the bill, arguing that it would hamper legitimate U.S. investigations and complicate an already murky legal framework for accessing data across borders. Further, DOJ staffers criticized the bill’s mutual legal assistance treaty reforms, which are designed to modernize how foreign governments can get data from U.S. firms. At one point, the debate resulted in a heated exchange between DOJ officials and LEADS Act supporters at the briefing, according to one Hill source. The DOJ declined to comment.</p> <p>— <strong>HILL REAX</strong>: The bill’s top Republican sponsor in the House, Rep. Tom Marino: “It is no surprise that as our bill builds momentum with over 70 co-sponsors and counting, that resistance will also begin to build. … While I have a lot of respect for the work many of the professionals at the Department of Justice do on behalf of the country, I think the overly broad interpretations for the breadth of subpoenas and warrants have become an invasion of privacy and threaten the freedom of US citizens, along with the viability of US companies.”</p> <p>— <strong>THE UPSHOT</strong>: This is a skirmish in a wider congressional battle over email privacy reform. Broader legislation remains stalled, especially in the House, where Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte has promised to address the issue but so far failed to follow through.</p> <p><strong>GOOD TUESDAY MORNING</strong> and welcome to Morning Tech, where your host was glad to see “True Detective” brought back its signature eerie approach to the title sequence this season.

The bill has won support from the Internet Governance Coalition — whose members include Google, Microsoft, GoDaddy, Comcast, Verizon and others. The group said the proposal strikes a “thoughtful balance” by letting the ICANN community guide the process while also letting U.S. lawmakers have a say with any concerns. We’re tracking.</p> <p><strong>FORBES, DELBENE URGE ICANN TO FIX ‘.AMAZON’ DISPUTE</strong> — The co-chairs of the Congressional Trademark Caucus are calling on ICANN to resolve a dispute that pits Amazon against Brazil and Peru in the quest to secure “.amazon” Web addresses. In 2012 the e-commerce giant applied for the rights to use the generic top-level domain, but the South American countries pushed back, saying it should be available for matters of public interest related to the rainforest, including environmental protection and promotion of indigenous cultures. In a letter to ICANN leaders sent Monday, Reps. Randy Forbes and Suzan DelBene said Amazon holds a globally protected trademark and deserves to have its application granted.

The transparency group, and legions of journalists, protested the company's move but to little avail. Now Sunlight has responded by quietly posting a complete archive of the 15,529 tweets Politwoops retrieved from digital oblivion since the site's launch in 2012 — the first time the data has been available for bulk download. There’s no landing page for the archive, but you can download it here: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150623195221/http://bit.ly/1Cpe1rZ">http://bit.ly/1Cpe1rZ</a></p> <p><strong>NELSON SLAMS YOUTUBE KIDS APP </strong>— The top Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee slammed Google in a floor speech Monday over the content on its YouTube Kids app, which has been a target of several consumer advocacy groups since it launched earlier this year. Sen. Bill Nelson took issue with videos in the app that he says are unsuitable for children, including videos that contain explicit language, drug use, promotion of alcohol and demonstrations of unsafe behavior. “If a company creates an online safe haven for kids, it must do everything it can to make sure that children aren’t unnecessarily exposed to the very content that parents want their children to avoid,” Nelson said. He added that advertisements in the app should be clearly distinguished from other videos. “Google should not take advantage of this well-known vulnerability among children. … It ought to be common sense.” Watch his speech here: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150623195221/http://bit.ly/1K85Nwj">http://bit.ly/1K85Nwj</a></p> <p><strong>EU INCHES TOWARD TELECOM DEALS</strong> — From Europe, POLITICO’s Zoya Sheftalovich reports that governing bodies of the European Union could be close to reaching deals to ban mobile roaming charges and implement new net neutrality rules. Negotiations between the European Council, Commission and Parliament will continue at the end of the month, and in some aspects it appears a deal is closer than ever. Zoya has the details: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150623195221/http://politi.co/1Ib9ShL">http://politi.co/1Ib9ShL</a></p> <p><strong>ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY’S EU DIGITAL MARKET CONCERNS EASED </strong>— The entertainment industry on Monday got assurances from British and EU officials that a proposal to unify Europe’s market for digital content won’t change the way artists sell the rights to their work. POLITICO’s Alex Spence reports from Europe that a British and an EU official each said rules for the digital single market won’t force content to be licensed across all member countries at once. Creative industries had feared that changes to the current model — in which rights are sold territory by territory — would have a catastrophic impact on copyright-related work in Europe, Alex writes: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150623195221/http://politi.co/1K7mwA1">http://politi.co/1K7mwA1</a></p> <p><strong>RECORDING ACADEMY CHIEF PRAISES SWIFT</strong>, <strong>APPLE </strong>— Neil Portnow, president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, applauded Taylor Swift and Apple for their Sunday back-and-forth that ended with Apple changing its royalties policy for the launch of its new music streaming service. “Once again, the creator's voice prevailed — as it should. Taylor has demonstrated that when songwriters, artists and producers band together, they can achieve fairness for the creative community," Portnow said in a statement.</p> <p><strong>TECHNET ADDS AMAZON, AIRBNB</strong> — The tech trade group has been snapping up new members lately, and it's adding five more to the mix, including Amazon, at a time when the e-commerce giant generally is growing its D.C. presence (and just opened up a new office). Among the other new TechNet members, all to be announced today: Airbnb, Cleversafe, Good Technology and Recurrent Energy. That brings the association's total membership to 71.</p> <p><strong>INTERACTIVE AD GROUP HITS THE HILL </strong>— A group of small publishers are in D.C. today to meet with lawmakers as part of a fly-in organized by the Interactive Advertising Bureau. Participants will head to the Hill to explain the technology they use for digital advertising and argue that some proposed legislation and regulations, particularly pertaining to data privacy and Do Not Track features, could have an adverse impact on their business.</p> <p><strong>CHANGE.ORG REACHES 100M USERS </strong>— Online petitioning platform Change.org is celebrating reaching 100 million registered users worldwide. Its growth since launching in 2007 has accelerated internationally as more countries expand Internet access, particularly on mobile devices, founder and CEO Ben Rattray told MT. The site has staff in nearly 20 countries and has seen users launch more than 1 million petitions overall, and Rattray said it’s “just the beginning.”</p> <p><strong>One plan for the near future:</strong> A tool that aggregates petitions by constituency and lets elected officials post their views online in response. It’s in beta for now, and Rattray said the team is working with officials to build it out. He said the biggest lesson he’s learned from Change.org is that there’s a lot of skepticism around a website’s ability to make change in the “real world,” but he said it’s misplaced. “There is a huge appetite for engagement, not just nationally but locally. And when people mobilize the right tools, they can be hugely effective,” he said.</p> <p><strong>SPEED READ</strong></p> <p>GETTY IMAGES JOINS EU’S SIDE IN GOOGLE ANTITRUST CASE.
