Petition to Congress: We urge you to oppose any bill to reauthorize FISA surveillance unless it closes the data broker and backdoor search loopholes.
|
Trump and Speaker Johnson are still scrambling to hold onto their powers to surveil Americans without a warrant.
Stephen Miller wanted to extend and expand government mass surveillance by "quietly" reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). It didn't work. Johnson tried to ram a vote through. It didn't work. Now, Republicans are trying to water down any reform efforts to make them toothless.
A lot will be decided in the next few days before the April 30 FISA reauthorization deadline, and we must keep fighting for these critical privacy reforms.
Sign the petition: Tell Congress to close Trump's spying loopholes NOW!
Federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies exploit the “data broker loophole” to bypass privacy rights by purchasing our sensitive private information from data collection companies. They also use the “backdoor search loophole” to circumvent court orders and search through billions of communications. This is what's at stake over the next week.
Adding to the dangers of the government's domestic spying capabilities, the White House recently said it wants to use AI to collect and analyze "commercial bulk data on Americans, such as geolocation and web browsing data." It would be a terrifying expansion of the Trump administration's spying powers.
With the April 30 deadline looming, it's critical that we ramp up the pressure on members of Congress to follow through with reforms as Trump and Johnson get more desperate.
Sign the petition: No AI-powered warrantless surveillance in America! Block reauthorization of FISA unless it includes protections for our privacy.
