ACLU Reiterates Opposition to ‘Mass Spying’ Program Reauthorization

Reauthorizing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and its “mass spying program” under Section 702 “without going through the full legislative process and robust debate betrays the public’s trust,” the American Civil Liberties Union said in a statement Monday. The organization reiterated its opposition with 30 other advocacy groups (see 2311130039). “If congressional leadership includes an extension that allows Section 702 to continue to operate beyond April 2024” without changes, the ACLU “will have no choice but to oppose the NDAA and score the vote,” it said.
