The United States House of Representatives is currently debating reauthorizing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, better known as FISA. 

FISA is a U.S. law passed in 1978 that allows the federal government to conduct surveillance on foreign intelligence targets, including suspected spies or terrorists.   

In recent years, concerns have grown over how these authorities are used, particularly under Section 702 – because agencies like the FBI have been able to search databases containing Americans’ communications without first obtaining a search warrant, thus creating backdoor access to U.S. citizens' data and raising serious Fourth Amendment and privacy concerns.

I want to hear directly from you. Should agencies like the FBI be required to obtain a warrant for all searches involving American citizens?

I will share the results in this weekend’s newsletter.
