The US House of Representatives voted on Friday to extend the Section 702 spy program. It passed without an amendment that would have required the FBI to obtain a warrant to access Americans’ information.

I’m a person that leans to the right and I’ve been advocating for this bullshit to be repealed for years. FISA warrants are absolutely unconstitutional and un-american. 9/11 legislation was a huge mistake. Don’t trust the government. Question everything.

But like clockwork, both parties continue to keep this crap alive. Our government is compromised

(From a few years ago) The EFF’s take on Section 702:

The police continue to be allowed to use our tax dollars to buy our data as evidence in order to avoid the hassle of getting a warrant. Cool.
