Congress just quietly extended Section 702 surveillance authority for 45 days. This isn't about catching terrorists—it's a legal loophole that allows federal agencies to collect and search Americans' communications without a warrant.
Millions of innocent people—journalists, military members, doctors, lawyers—are caught in these surveillance nets simply for communicating with someone flagged as a "foreign target." And when people report being targeted, monitored, or harassed through these systems, they're often dismissed or discredited.
I started a petition demanding real reforms: warrant requirements, actual judicial oversight, and criminal penalties for abuse. If a system can collect data at scale, it has to have clear limits and real accountability.
If this concerns you—whether you care about privacy, civil liberties, or just not having your rights trampled—consider signing and sharing. Has anyone here experienced intrusive surveillance or felt like your rights were violated? Would like to hear what's on your mind.
