I’m urging you to vote NO on any clean reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Congress must not renew or expand warrantless surveillance powers unless it closes the data broker loophole and requires government agencies to obtain a court order before buying sensitive information about people in the United States.
Our private data — including location data, browsing records, app data, and other personal information — should not be available for government purchase as a workaround to the Fourth Amendment. If an agency would need a warrant to demand this information directly, it should need a warrant to buy it from a data broker.
This is even more dangerous as artificial intelligence makes mass surveillance faster, cheaper, broader, and harder to detect. Congress cannot hand federal agencies unchecked power to combine commercial bulk data with AI surveillance systems, especially when activists, immigrants, journalists, religious communities, protesters, and marginalized groups are often the first targets of government overreach.
Americans need privacy, civil liberties, and constitutional protections — not another blank check for mass surveillance.
Please vote NO on any FISA Section 702 reauthorization that fails to include real reforms. Close the data broker loophole. Require warrants. Protect the public from warrantless AI-powered surveillance.
No warrant, no search.
