"US Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) had a different interpretation of the email, telling Wired that it 'seems to show that the FBI is actively pushing for more surveillance of Americans, not out of necessity but as a default.'"

Along with the ban yesterday there was a surveillance bill snuck into the aid package and I am not sure most Americans are aware? I don’t know anything about this, I just thought I would share for those who don’t know.

    With the US Senate agreeing to reauthorize there has been no better time to start using end-to-end . 🔒

    We don't need more . 🕵️

    Please contact your representatives and say NO to warrantless surveillance!

    The Senate's just approved a floor vote on six amendments followed by a roll call vote on final passage of H.R.7888 (a bill to expand and reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, aks , Section 702).

    The amendments are:

    Paul: attach Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act (which the House passed separately). Great idea, very unlikely the votes are there.

    Marshall: not sure

    Wyden-Hawley: strip out House langauge with dramatic expansion of powers. Absolutely crtical, we'll see if the votes are there.

    Paul: another one, not sure about the details

    Durbin-Cramer: attach a warrant requiremnt. Also really important!

    Lee: allow more amicus briefs. Valuable, although if this is the only amendment that passes that's not good enough. The Senate passed it overwhelmingly a few years ago but the House blaked

    And then they'll vote on the final bill

    Bummer. The Wyden amendment to strip out the House expansion failed 34-58; the Durbin amendment to add a warrant requirement failed 40-53; and the final bill passed, 60-33 (I think). Overall, it's a very disappointing result. The Biden administration and their allies in Democratic and Republican leadership pulled out all the stops to pressure Congress, and unfortunately it worked.

    The one small piece of good news is that it's only a two-year reauthorization ... who knows what the landscape will look like in 2026, but we'll hopefully be able to give it another try then.

    Thanks everybody who took action. Sometimes the cards are stacked against us, and in this case the fix was in.

    The House votes on FISA reauthorization on Thursday, and surveillance hawks in both parties are pushing an amendment that would actually EXPAND warrantless wiretapping. More positively, reformers will also get a vote on an amendment to add a warrant requirement. And as always happens in this situations, the propaganda's kicking into high gear. Attached is a markup @dell did of a Washington Post editorial, highlighting all the misleading points and flat-out lies. It's ridiculous!

    Dell's who's doing a great job covering this for @WIRED ... The Future of America’s Biggest Spy Program Is Being Decided Right Now is the current status and he'll be updating it over the next several days.

    if you’re in the US, now’s a great time to contact Congress. You can either call the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or use the House directory to look up your legislators’ contact info.

    “Stop the FBI from expanding warrantless surveillance of innocent Americans. OPPOSE the FISA amendment from Reps. Turner and Himes, which would be the largest expansion of FISA since Section 702 was created in 2008. And please oppose any attempt to reauthorize FISA Section 702 that doesn’t include warrant requirements, both for Section 702 data and for our sensitive, personal information sold to the government by data brokers.”

    Free CCTV! What's the catch?

    The UK Home Office has extended a programme to supply Mosques, temples and Synagogues with security equipment through the US-owned Esotec Ltd.

    We're highlighting the risk that cloud stored data across all sites could be seized by security services through secretive powers.

    This would happen without the knowledge of people running or attending places of worship, community centres or faith schools.
