@MarkUdall @savingprivacy @Snowden @NSAGov @SenatorBurr @TheJusticeDept @Thomas_Drake1 5/6) So when @SenatorBurr says @FBI can do "all of this" after #Section215 expires, he's pointing to a specific, rogue legal theory that predates the PATRIOT Act. It has resulted in the government getting hundreds of billions of records illegally, and probably unconstitutionally.

@MarkUdall @savingprivacy @Snowden @NSAGov @SenatorBurr @TheJusticeDept @Thomas_Drake1 4/6) What @Thomas_Drake1 blew the whistle on was Stellarwind, which operated ~2001-2007. @Snowden blew the whistle on a similar set of surveillance after the government had hidden it away under lawless interpretations of statutes, like #Section215 and #Section702. Still illegal.

@MarkUdall @savingprivacy 2/6) #Section215 of the PATRIOT Act expired >7 months ago — that's what @Snowden revealed @NSAGov was abusing to spy on all Americans' call records. But this year @SenatorBurr said the FBI could do "all of this" anyway: https://t.co/WeVxrj9e7n

.@RepYvetteClarke, please tell Speaker Pelosi not to take the #PatriotAct reauthorization bill to conference with Sen. McConnell. We don't need an even more watered-down version of this bill. Let #Section215 stay expired or draft a bill with meaningful #privacy protections.

The House must move forward with legislation that contains strong reforms that protect the #privacy of people in America, or let #Section215 of the #PatriotAct stay lapsed as it has been since March. #privacy #surveillance 5/8

Breaking: Next week the House will vote on a key amendment to the USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act. The amendment would prohibit the use of #Section215 of the Patriot Act for the warrantless surveillance of search and browser histories of people in the U.S. https://t.co/aOz2IQGdEz

The Wyden/Daines "Safeguarding Americans' Private Records Act" was a real due process reform, unlike the House-passed #Section215 reauthorization bill. But it was never even allowed debate, much less a vote.

We have less than 24 hours to pressure the Senate to adopt three strong privacy amendments that have been introduced by Sens. Lee, Leahy, Paul, Daines, and Wyden. Without these critical reforms, McConnell's bill is unacceptable and dangerous. #StopTrumpSpying #Section215

Sen. McConnell is pushing the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020 through the Senate, which would bring back the invasive surveillance authorities embedded in the Patriot Act after they expired in March. #StopTrumpSpying #Section215

ICYMI: #Section215 of the Patriot Act is a dangerous spying authority that whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed to the public in 2013. Privacy advocates (like us) have been fighting for years to end or rein in the shady spying practices authorized by Section 215 #StopTrumpSpying
