Restore The 4th MN

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.

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.

[Elizabeth Goitein @LizaGoitein]

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

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.

[Project for Privacy & Surveillance Accountability @savingprivacy]

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.

[Project for Privacy & Surveillance Accountability @savingprivacy]

The bipartisan, bicameral #GSRA will create new safeguards for government surveillance, reform outdated surveillance laws, establish protections for Americans, and enforce accountability for abuses.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.

[Just Security @just_security]

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."

[Demand Progress @demandprogress]

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."

[Center for Democracy & Technology @CenDemTech]

A bipartisan group of Senators and House members today led by @RonWyden, @SenMikeLee, @WarrenDavidson, @RepZoeLofgren introduced a landmark bill to fix the serious problems with #FISA 702 & other forms of overbroad + unchecked government #surveillance.

The whole "intelligence community" has been saying "encryption for me but not for thee" since forever

[Restore The 4th MN @RT4MN]

To be clear, CISOs *should* be paying attention to the 702 debate. Not because 702 is a magical cyber silver bullet, but because its a mass surveillance program overseen by an agency more interested in breaking systems then it is in defending them.

^ Stewart baker on why the clipper chip is a good idea.
I cant remember which episodes specifically but I also know that at various points on his podcast he's also ranted about how TLS sucks because it kneecaps good NSA snooping.

@JakeLaperruque @jahimes Well, He's definitely right that congress needs some 702 educating.

NEW #FOIA SCOOP/🧵Took me 6 yrs to pry this out of NSA

A few wks before @Snowden's leaks were published, 2 NSA employees contacted NSA IG to blow the whistle on unauthorized surveillance

IG substantiated it

Its been almost 10 years, hard to be hopeful that Snowden will ever come back to the US.

Electronic Frontier Alliance member @RT4MN is joining dozens of groups to speak to the @FTC about how it can protect privacy and other rights in its upcoming rule on commercial surveillance and data security. https://t.co/mlTQsVbBX3
