Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s New NSA Bill Will Codify and Extend Mass Surveillance of Americans

Posted on November 1, 2013July 1, 2025 by Dissent

A bill to “improve” FISA introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein is as bad as some of us expected.  Trevor Timm writes:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and one of the NSA’s biggest defenders, released what she calls an NSA “reform” bill today.

Don’t be fooled: the bill codifies some of the NSA’s worst practices, would be a huge setback for everyone’s privacy, and it would permanently entrench the NSA’s collection of every phone record held by U.S. telecoms. We urge members of Congress to oppose it.
