House proposal would expand federal warrantless spying authority
One bill set to be considered would grow the scope of federal digital surveillance and would authorize the federal government to use those powers against more individuals.
You're viewing a single thread.
An article about a federal surveillance bill pending in the House called the FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act that, if it passes, will substantially expand the federal government's digital surveillance powers used to track digital communications unwarranted through its Section 702 database. Edward Snowden among other civil libertarians have criticized this measure as the biggest infringement on your privacy rights since the PATRIOT Act. Libertarians especially should be wary of this. This nakedly authoritarian bill should be strongly opposed and voted down. The future of freedom as we know depends on it.
Aaaand, it passed.
