@RT4MN

Our basic human right to privacy has been enumerated in the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Some seek to diminish this right, but we will Restore it.

wired.com/story/section-… This whole thing was a shitshow. And the reason the spooks and their apologists on HPSCI are so freaked out? because they don't want to have to go to a judge to get Americans data, they would rather secretly buy that data from data brokers.

Reporting from @politico suggests House intelligence committee leaders want at least part of the floor debate on Section 702 to happen IN SECRET. If true, these are bush league tactics and a new low for opponents of surveillance reform. 1/8 x.com/jordainc/statu…

Interesting 702 update (👋 folks watching the Super Bowl): -Lawmakers warning the House will go into “secret session” for part of the debate. Would be first time since 2008 -no final text/amendment deal yet but expectation is still for bill on the floor toward end of the week

1. FBI Director Christopher Wray just told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Congress (1) MUST reauthorize FISA 702, and (2) MUST NOT impose a requirement that FBI obtain a search warrant before conducting “backdoor searches” of American citizens through the 702 database.

Bipartisan, bicameral #GSRA would stop the surveillance abuses that have run roughshod over our privacy, civil liberties, and Fourth Amendment rights for years. This is how Congress can #fixfisa.

The bipartisan, bicameral #GSRA will create new safeguards for government surveillance, reform outdated surveillance laws, establish protections for Americans, and enforce accountability for abuses. This is the landmark bill Congress needs to #fixfisa.

U.S. Intelligence agencies have been circumventing our 4th Amendment right to privacy by spying on Americans without a warrant. Today, we introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act that would end abuses under FISA and end unauthorized surveillance programs.

NEW: A bill introduced today aims to reform #FISA Section 702 to protect privacy w/o compromising #NationalSecurity. "If passed, it would be the most significant surveillance reform legislation since FISA itself." Analysis by @LizaGoitein @NoahChauvin: justsecurity.org/89786/the-year…

Demand Progress Policy Director @SeanVitka on #GSRA: "The Government Surveillance Reform Act meets this once-in-a-generation moment, and threads the needle. It creates a path, the only path forward for #FISA, and it meaningfully restores Americans’ privacy."

Tonight’s meeting details are up! Chill night, folks who went to @defcon are invited to talk in a panel-style Q&A session. We’ll do some BBQ planning as well. Will update the post but meeting space is cafe.cyberia.club/dc612 as usual. dc612.org/index.php/2022…


There is a lot people can do to protect individual privacy from the dragnet surveillance built into the modern world, but at the end of the day they should not *have* to do much of anything. Dragnet surveillance should never be the default.
