Voip-Pal.com Discusses United States Government's Proposed Reforms to NSA Surveillance Program with Respect to its Lawful Intercept Technology

Board of Directors Q&A Session Posted on Company Website

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Voip-Pal.com Inc. ("Voip-Pal") (OTC Pink: VPLM) would like to provide comments on the U.S. Government's recent proposed reforms to the current National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program with regards to its Lawful Intercept technology. In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks, the US Legislature passed the Patriot Act which significantly broadened the government's powers to gather intelligence and information within the United States. In 2011, an extension to key provisions of the Patriot Act involving surveillance was signed into law. Recent revelation of the vast NSA Surveillance Program has caused growing concern among privacy advocates and the public at large. Last week, in an effort to restore the publics' confidence in the Government, President Obama announced plans to reform the current surveillance program and create greater oversight and transparency.

At a time when the internet and social media has made us more vulnerable to invasions of privacy, Voip-Pal agrees that the United States should take the lead in reforms that will provide greater protection to the privacy of its citizens. Broad and blanketed surveillance undermines confidence in the government and weakens its standing abroad. Voip-Pal's Lawful Intercept Technology (U.S. Patent No. 8,422,507) was designed to provide an option to such broad, untargeted surveillance. With Lawful Intercept, law enforcement agencies can use targeted, selective surveillance aimed specifically at terrorist and criminal suspects. Lawful Intercept is the first technology of its kind that will intercept any type of VoIP communications including VoIP to landline calls in a completely stealth manner. Lawful Interception of VoIP communications is a vital tool for law enforcement and is crucial to national security. Use of Voip-Pal's Lawful Intercept with all forms of internet telephony can prevent terrible tragedies and save countless lives when used by the appropriate government and law enforcement agencies within the proper bounds of the law. Making Lawful Intercept capability mandatory for all VoIP providers would offer an effective solution and protect people's privacy.
