It’s absurd that American authorities can purchase personal data – that they’re not allowed to gather themselves without a warrant – directly from data brokers. This violates the Fourth Amendment, and it’s time to close the data broker loophole.

Today, the Surveillance Accountability Act was introduced. It requires warrants based on probable cause for all government surveillance and data access.

@mullvadnet I like this, but this seems like the legislative equivalent of vaporware. Do they even have a bill draft? Why is the only call to action to just give money rather than contacting our representatives to support the bill?

@michael @mullvadnet well, in the about page: On April 23, 2026, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) introduced the Surveillance Accountability Act, which would require government searches to be conducted with a warrant based on probable cause, in accordance with the Fourth Amendment. The Ludlow Institute's founder, Naomi Brockwell, helped draft the bill in coordination with Rep. Massie's office, ensuring it is grounded in both constitutional principles and the realities of modern surveillance technology.

Those were a couple of names I wasn't expecting on a bill like this. So it could just be a money extraction scheme.
