TechdirtAdministration Apparently Planning To Blow Off FISA Court’s Ordered Fixes For Section 702
dell cameronTrump working to compartmentalize surveillance abuses to shield the FBI's ability to read Americans emails and listen to their phone calls without a warrant. #Section702
Wild statement tho: "I am willing to risk the giving up of my rights and privileges as a citizen for our great military"

Dem Leaders Aren’t Even Bothering to Rally Caucus Against #Trump #DomesticSpying Powers
Grassroots opposition to renewing #Section702 of #FISA is building, thanks in part to fears about #AI used to sort Americans’ data.
Matt Sledge, April 14 2026
"The House of Representatives is set to vote Wednesday on renewing a spy power that grants the Trump administration warrantless access to thousands of Americans’ communications.
While uniting against President Donald Trump on many fronts, Democrats are split on what to do over the domestic spying power — and the party’s leadership isn’t giving much guidance, according to a congressional notice obtained by The Intercept.

"With leadership silent, progressive activists are trying to step into the void to pressure members. They say Trump’s disregard for the rule of law in his second term means that representatives should only vote for the law with reforms.

David August ❌👑@cdarwin weird that after the admin does so very many things that have damaged and continue to damage US national security without so much as a peep from those same people claiming 702 must be renewed for national security sake.
They don’t care one iota for national security, they just want to surveil however they want to with no judicial oversight. They can, with all due respect, get stuffed.
They need to get warrants going forward.

We Need You: Our Privacy Cannot Afford a Clean Extension of Section 702
The intelligence community and its defenders in Congress, as always, seem more interested in defending their rights to read your private communications than in protecting your right to privacy. It’s not really a compromise between safety and privacy if it's always your privacy that gets sacrificed. Now, we’re drawing a line in the sand: Congress cannot pass a clean extension.

This Surveillance Report links to a wider pattern: privacy tools treated as suspicious, open-source supply-chain attacks, malware in official app stores, age verification creeping further into daily life, and only partial pushback against chat scanning.
Are we sleepwalking into a world where protecting yourself is treated like a threat?

I was on a panel this afternoon discussing this spy program and related surveillance authorities w/ some really fire experts, so if you missed it here's the video. It's not too long and was pretty comprehensive. #Section702
