House Judiciary Committee advances FISA Section 702 bill with warrant requirements, 35-2
Sen. Ron Wyden says “This is great news for anyone who cares about protecting their privacy from government overreach.”
So far the only coverage is @tonya_riley’s paywalled Bloomberg News article

The bill is H.R. 6570, the Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act, sponsored by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ). It has a lot of similarities to the bipartisan Government Surveillance Reform Act (where Wyden and Sen. Mike Lee are the Senate sponsors). But there are other bills potentially moving forward as well… (1/3)
I’m still waiting for the Fuckening to happen, where somebody tells me it actually does the exact opposite and just empowers more Orwellian helltactics.
We can’t be naming things what they actually do. Imagine the chaos!!
