    It's my birthday today and I'm on MTV News to say all I want is for you to call @SpeakerPelosi at (202) 930-8115 and tell her to support the Wyden/Daines amendment that prevents the Trump admin from spying on your Internet activity without a warrant. https://twitter.com/...

    Never forget that it was @RepJerryNadler that SPONSORED a bill to give the FBI the authority to see our web browsing history without a warrant! H.R. 6172 We need @JonathanHerzog5 instead and I can't wait to see him rake Nadler over the coals for this! #YangGangForCongress https:/…

    In lock-step w/ republicans, 10 Democrats voted *against* the Wyden-Daines amendment #1583 that would have prohibited FBI warrantless surveillance of web browser history. The 37 senators who voted *Against/Nay* on this amendment voted *FOR* the surveillance state! https://twitter…

    The 10 Democrats who joined GOP in defeating amend #1583 to stop FBI warrantless surveillance of web browser history: Carper, Casey, Feinstein, Hassan, Jones, Kaine, Manchin, Shaheen, Warner & Whitehouse. Joined 2 Republicans & a Democrat in not showing up to vote: Bernie Sanders…

    @CNET I'm a @GOP supporter, and also a cyber security professional. Warrants should absolutely be required before any governmental agency or employee can access a US citizens browsing history. @NRSC should support legislation to provide this protection.

    Went ahead and typed up a second blog on the coalition letter today from Demand Progress, Mozilla, and a slew of tech firms supporting Wyden-Daines https://gizmodo.com/...

    Last week, I wrote about the heartbreaking loss in the Senate, where we fell *one vote short* of stopping unwarranted spying on your internet browsing when 10 Democrats voted the wrong way and two didn't show up. The upside: We can still fix this bill! https://twitter.com/...

    The US Senate rejected an amendment to the USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act that would require the government to obtain a warrant before searching through Americans' browsing and search histories. https://www.cnet.com/...

    Mozilla, Reddit, Twitter, et al. want a law to protect browser history. Letter to Congress: “Americans deserve to have their online searches and browsing kept private, and only available to the government pursuant to a warrant.” https://www.cnet.com/... from @alfredwkng
