I heard from lawmakers & advocacy groups who opposed the FISA bill that the president signed last week. I asked: what's next? 'CC @RonWyden @SenatorTester @RepLuna @ACLU's Kia Hamadanchy @demandprogress's @SeanVitka @EPICprivacy's Chris Baumohl law360.com/publicpolicy/a…

Sr. Fellow @WilliamJMcGee has spent decades pushing @USDOT to do more to protect passengers and rein in Too Big To Care airlines. But as he spoke to today, there's been a positive sea change in the DOT's enforcement activity over the past year--which we're thrilled to see.👇
🚨The FTC is finalizing a rule banning noncompete clauses for *all workers* regardless of income or industry. It will increase pay, new business formation, innovation -- and cut health care costs. It's one of the most important things the Biden Administration has done.

You may have heard that Walmart is acquiring TV maker Vizio. What you probably haven’t heard: the acquisition has almost *nothing* to do with TVs - and *everything* to do with gobbling up consumer data. 🧵on why regulators need to step in and this stop this naked power grab.
Here's @SeanVitka of @demandprogress on this:
🚨 Pass the bipartisan and bicameral Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act! 👀 Restore PRIVACY: "Closing this data broker loophole is a step towards restoring a govt small enough to fit within the Constitution. We can afford a govt that small." @WarrenDavidson #GetAWarrant #ampFW
🚨 The 4th Amendment Is CLEAR: "If the govt wants to search your data, they need to have probable cause and a warrant, or a subpoena. 🚨 Unfortunately, govt agencies are buying non-public data that'd otherwise require a warrant or subpoena." @WarrenDavidson #GetAWarrant #ampFW
Huge news: The House just passed my 4th Amendment Is Not For Sale Act, which bars law enforcement from purchasing Americans' private data from shady data brokers. This is a huge win for privacy. Now it's time for the Senate to follow suit.
There's a poison bill in the #FISA bill before the Senate, which would force innocent people to spy on each other. That fight is still raging on, and so our focus must immediately return to the Senate."
The data broker loophole is a dangerous affront to the Constitution. Majority Leader Schumer, who was an original cosponsor of this legislation, should bring it to the Senate Floor immediately. Instead, the Senate is considering a terrifying expansion of FISA right now.
The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act protects Americans by stopping government agencies from buying our sensitive location and internet records from shady data brokers, without any court approval.
Statement: "The House's passage of The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act is a historic moment for Americans' privacy, in which champions fought back against growing lawless government surveillance, facilitated by data brokers...
Please join me in thanking privacy champions, namely @WarrenDavidson @RepJayapal @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepSaraJacobs @Jim_Jordan @RepZoeLofgren and @RepJerryNadler for getting the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act through the House!!!

.@ITI_TechTweets comes out against "Make Everyone a Spy" provision: "It’s imperative they not include provisions that would unintentionally make any electronic communication service equipment provider and those with access to that equipment subject to #FISA authorities."
Significant: earlier/at 15:22 of the link Senate Intel member @SenGillibrand expressed "serious concerns" about the changes @RepMikeTurner made to poison the FISA bill. But we need all Senators to COMMIT to BLOCKING this. CALL THEM: 202-899-8938 wnyc.org/story/call-you…
Calling this bill controversial is an understatement: the provisions would turn the majority of American businesses into government spies and the Fourth Amendment into a dish rag. #GetAWarrant #FixFISA
