Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act: Illegal and Unconstitutional Friday, March 3, 2023

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was passed in 1978 after the Church Committee, a special investigative committee, uncovered illegal and unconstitutional spying of Americans by the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, and the IRS. Congress in FISA created a secret court called the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC, or FISA Court) to oversee the targeted spying on specific and identified agents of foreign powers. But after 9/11, President Bush bypassed the FISA Court and began illegally spying on domestic communications en masse. Journalists and whistleblowers exposed the illegal surveillance a few years later, but Congress failed to stop it. Instead, it passed the 2008 FISA Amendments Act (FISA AA) to justify more spying. In particular, Section 702 is used for mass collection of emails, phone calls and other communications to or from Americans as well as foreigners.

EFF One Pager on Section 230 Tuesday, February 14, 2023

Section 230 embodies that principle that we should all be responsible for our own actions and statements online, but generally not those of others. The law prevents most civil suits against users or services that are based on what others say. That’s why the U.S. Congress passed a law, Section 230 (originally part of the Communications Decency Act), that protects Americans’ freedom of expression online by protecting the intermediaries we all rely on.

CalECPA Disclosures 2016-2021 Monday, January 30, 2023

Update April 10, 2023: EFF has decided to no longer host this data, since the regularly updated data is now available on the Open Justice website.

The California Department of Justice provided us with electronic search warrant data from across the state for 2016 through 2021 as required by the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act. As noted in this blog post, the CADOJ is supposed to publish this data online and update it regularly. However, CADOJ took the data down in summer 2022 and as of February 2023 has still not posted it online.

Update, Feb. 8, 2023: The California Department of Justice has provided EFF with updated search warrant data for 2020, 2021, and 2022, with personal information redacted. We have uploaded the data below accordingly. An agency spokesperson said via email, "We are currently reviewing our procedures and we will follow up once the datasets are live on OpenJustice. We do not have an exact timeline, but our team is working on getting it back online as quickly as possible."

Update, Feb 1, 2023: Out of an abundance of caution, EFF has temporarily replaced the CalECPA disclosure data from 2020-2022 with new versions that do not include the "nature of investigation" and "facts giving rise to the emergency" columns. Following our publication of the data, the California Department of Justice (CADOJ) contacted alerted us that staff had failed to properly redact potentially personal information from these fields. The agency has committed to reviewing the data and providing updated information. We will update the files on this page when we receive the data. For more information and the CADOJ's statement please see our blog post. In the meantime, journalists and researchers can email dm@eff.org with any immediate data requirements.

Comments of the Electronic Frontier Foundation on the CMA’s Inquiry on Mobile Browsers and Cloud Gaming Thursday, July 21, 2022

We submit these comments in response to the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) inquiry on the markets for the supply of mobile browsers and cloud gaming in the United Kingdom. This comment will primarily address the supply of mobile browsers in the U.K. The CMA’s study has concluded that Apple and Google’s duopoly on mobile ecosystems means they have a stranglehold over key gateways. The CMA identified that there are many potential interventions which could help unlock competition and protect millions of businesses and people reliant on their services. The CMA is taking action now to tackle the many problems it has identified, and the new pro-competition digital regime expects to have additional powers to oversee these key digital markets.

Government Attacks on Private Drones Monday, June 6, 2022

Congress should not give the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, State, NASA, the CIA, private contractors, private facilities, and state and local law enforcement sweeping new authorities to destroy, commandeer, or intercept privately-owned drones.

The Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems National Action Plan proposed by the administration would authorize permanent or long lasting, sweeping surveillance powers to many different entities, while also eliminating necessary protections. Congress should reject this proposal.

Section 702 PATRIOT Act One Pager (June 2022) Monday, June 6, 2022

Congress should not reauthorize Section 702, the invasive spying program that sweeps up the emails, text messages, and other online communications of millions of innocent Americans. Congress should end the many years of overreach by the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and close warrantless “backdoor” access to data by allowing the law to sunset at the end of 2023.
