Stored Communications Act ("SCA"). 18 U.S.C. §§ 2707-2711. Protects the privacy of user communication in the possession of certain companies that store and transmit the data. This is the statue Facebook relies on to withhold communications, as opposed to contact information, when responding to civil subpoenas.
