Mitts off my bits: Rein in warrantless surveillance

“Soon, Congress will once again debate whether to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — a law that was supposed to target foreign threats but has become a domestic dragnet. And I’m here to say that enough is enough. Lawmakers need to keep their mitts off our bits. This is not a partisan issue. It’s a constitutional issue. The Fourth Amendment doesn’t say ‘except when it’s digital.’ It doesn’t say ‘unless you’re using Google.’ It says the government must get a warrant — period. And yet, under Section 702, federal agencies like the National Security Agency, FBI and CIA can access Americans’ private emails, messages and cloud data — all without a warrant, and often without us ever knowing.” (10/08/25)
