Tell Congress: They Must Defeat HPSCI’s Horrific Surveillance Bill
act.eff.org
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) has introduced the FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2023–an absolutely awful bill that ignores years of abuse and unconstitutional surveillance in order to renew a mass surveillance law with no real changes, reforms, or new oversight. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is set to expire on December 31, 2023, and there is currently a race to see what bill will renew Big Brother’s favorite surveillance law. Any reauthorizations must come with significant reforms in order to protect the privacy of people’s communications. To that end, the choice is clear - we urge all Members to vote NO on the Intelligence Committee’s bill, H.R.6611, the FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2023.

    I mean that is what I pay EFF to lobby for; I’m sure they’re working on it.

    I don’t think this will help much. They are doing this now because Apple went ahead and were allowed to make a statement.

    I think what they should be doing is attempt towards mitigations over such classes of spying

    Yes, please politely ask those stealing you and your neighbors and countrymens currency and life’s effort, without providing the “representation” they claim justifies it mind you, and then using it to spy on you illegitimately/unconstitutionally, and then using more of it to fund any legal claims made against them, all in contravention of their oaths, to pretty please stop.

    I think we solved it. Pack it up and close down the privacy instance folks. Our work here is done.
