Section 702 of FISA allows the government to conduct warrantless searches on Americans and maintain massive troves of our data—but it is about to expire. Congress now has 15 days to decide whether to protect the #4thAmendment or let the government continue to eviscerate it.

#USARIGHTSAct:
substantially and permanently limits the collection of Americans’ data
requires a warrant to search for Americans’ communications in the government’s massive stores of #FISA702 data &
limits the use of warrantlessly collected data to prosecute Americans.Show this thread -
Other House bills, like the
#USALibertyAct, would reauthorize all the government’s#FISA702 spying while doing little to protect our rights, and the#FISAAmendmentsReauthorizationAct would actually expand the government’s authority to conduct warrantless surveillance!Show this thread -

#USARIGHTSAct include@ACLU@FreedomWorks@NAACP@C4Liberty@demandprogress@IndivisibleTeam@ALALibrary@CenDemTech@GovAcctProj@BrennanCenter &@OTI.Show this thread -
With the expiration of
#FISA702, Congress has the opportunity to reverse the government’s illegal erosion of our#4thAmendment-secured right to be free from warrantless searches and seizures. There’s only one bill circulating in the House that does that: the#USARIGHTSAct.Show this thread - End of conversation
