abstract
  • Subject to certain exceptions, the Stored Communications Act (SCA), which is part of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, bars The SCA distinguishes between two types of providers: "remote computing services" and "electronic communication services." Courts have been examining whether the disclosure of text messages sent by employees on employer-issued pagers violates the privacy rights of employees, and whether such disclosure is barred by the Stored Communications Act. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently held that the city-employer violated the constitutional rights of an employee when the employer reviewed text messages sent and received by the employee on his employer-provided pager. The court of appeals also held that the text-messaging service provider violated the federal Stored Communications Act by giving the city transcripts of the text messages. In Quon v. Arch Wireless, the Ninth Circuit held that a city's text message provider was an electronic communications service for purposes of the Act because it enabled city employees to send and receive wire communications. The U.S. Supreme Court later reversed.
