President's Working Group on Unlawful Conduct on the Internet

Overview
The interagency President's Working Group on Unlawful Conduct on the Internet, chaired by the U.S. Attorney General, was established to provide an initial analysis of legal and policy issues surrounding the use of the Internet for illegal purposes.

Specifically, the Working Group considered (1) the extent to which existing federal laws are sufficient to address unlawful conduct involving the use of the Internet; (2) the extent to which new tools, capabilities, or legal authorities may be needed for effective investigation and [[prosecution] of such conduct; and (3) the potential for using education and empowerment tools to minimize the risks from such conduct.

In February 2000, the Working Group issued its final report &mdash; The Electronic Frontier: The Challenge of Unlawful Conduct Involving the Use of the Internet.
