Senator Ron Weiden of Oregon, a famous privacy hawk who served in the Senate Intelligence Committee since 9/11, has referred to the new material as “one of the most impressive and terrifying expansion of the Government Supervisory Bureau in history.”
Given the ACLU and other organizations trying to eliminate new types of jobs that can actually be considered ECSP, it is a key step in creating transparency in illegal change in federal supervision practices. These groups wrote in their letter to Gabard:
The National Intelligence Office did not respond to numerous requests for comment.
In addition to encouraging Gabard to eliminate details of access to program 702, ACLU and others are currently pressing Gabard to publish information so that large numbers of Americans have “happened” by their government. Intelligence officials have long claimed that it will be “impossible” because any analysis of wiring will allow the government to have illegal access to them and effectively violate Americans’ rights.
However, privacy groups refer to research published in 2022 from Princeton University, which illustrates the details of a methodology that can effectively solve the problem. “The refusal of the information community to produce the requested estimation undermines trust and undermines the legitimacy of Section 702,” the groups say.
Gabdard has been reportedly softened against government spying while working to provide his new position as the country’s intelligence manager. For example, during Congress 116, Gabard enacted laws seeking to completely eliminate the program of 702, including “crown jewelry” or US intelligence and holding tabs on foreign threats abroad, including terrorist campaigns and cyber threats, which are far more than a booth than a booth. Kurdish.
While he begged this situation in January, Gabard’s newly supported views, in fact brought him closer to the main reformists. Gabard, for example, responded to questions from the US Senate prior to his approval, supporting the idea that he would need a federal research office to obtain a warranty before access to American communications by the 702 program.
The killing of national security hawks from a former parliament spokesman Nancy Pelosi to the former Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Mike Turner has long opposed the ruling because all FBI executives have traditionally. “This guarantee requires reinforcement [intelligence community] Gabard was targeted in response to Senate questions in late January with the aim of targeting and justifying.
The program 702 was re -licensed last spring, but only for two more years. Early discussions about the re -license of the program are expected to start again in early summer.
Sean Whitka, chief executive of demand progress, one of the organizations involved in the lobby, points out that Gabdard has a long history of supporting civil liberties, referring to his recent statements about “encouraging” secret surveillance programs. “Congress must know, and people deserve to know what section 702 is used for,” says Whitka.
“Section 702 has been repeatedly used to implement unnecessary monitoring of Americans, including journalists, activists and even members of Congress,” said Kia Hamdanchi, a senior ACLU policy adviser. “Eliminating important information as well as providing long -term basic data on the number of American people whose communications have been collected under the supervision is essential measures to increase transparency as a subsequent re -debate approach.”
