The US House voted to vastly expand government surveillance. The Senate must stop it | Caitlin Vogus
Tue, 16 Apr 2024 16:00:24 GMT
A little-known amendment to the reauthorized version of Fisa would create a drastic, draconian expansion of the government’s surveillance powers
The US House of Representatives agreed to reauthorize a controversial spying law known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act last Friday without any meaningful reforms, dashing hopes that Congress might finally put a stop to intelligence agencies’ warrantless surveillance of Americans’ emails, text messages and phone calls.
The vote not only reauthorized the act, though; it also vastly expanded the surveillance law enforcement can conduct. In a move that Senator Ron Wyden condemned as “terrifying”, the House also doubled down on a surveillance authority that has been used against American protesters, journalists and political donors in a chilling assault on free speech.
