Politics & Religion / FO: FBI and CISA resume disinfo campaign ahead of election
« Last post by Crafty_Dog on May 09, 2024, 02:27:21 PM »

(3) FBI, CISA RESUME DISINFORMATION WORK WITH SOCIAL MEDIA AHEAD OF ELECTION: At the RSA Conference yesterday, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said federal agencies including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI resumed communications with social media companies after the Supreme Court appeared to favor the Biden administrations argument in Murthy v Missouri earlier this year.

“The secretary delivered a very clear message that we view interference in our domestic democratic process as dangerous and unacceptable,” Cyberspace and Digital Policy Ambassador Nathaniel Fick said during the conference.

Why It Matters: Expect social media censorship to increase as the election nears. Many tech company Trust & Safety divisions, which handle requests from government agencies to deemphasize or take down posts, are staffed by former government officials, and they have coordinated in the past with CISA and the FBI. – R.C.

Politics & Religion / FO: FBI FISA search skullduggery
« Last post by Crafty_Dog on May 09, 2024, 02:26:01 PM »


(2) FBI STEPS UP FISA SEARCHES OF AMERICANS AFTER RENEWAL: According to an FBI internal email obtained by WIRED magazine, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate urged FBI employees to “continue to look for ways to appropriately use US person queries to advance the mission.”

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said the email “seems to show that the FBI is actively pushing for more surveillance of Americans, not out of necessity but as a default,” and the email “directly contradicts earlier assertions from the FBI during the debate over Section 702’s reauthorization.”

Why It Matters: The FBI said FISA database searches of Americans’ data have decreased. However, part of that decrease is a redefinition of what counts as a search for American data, and the true number of searches that may go beyond newly imposed guidelines is not publicized by the Justice Department. Language in the renewal bill clearly expanded the types of companies that could be compelled to turn over or obtain Americans’ communications for FISA collections, but lawmakers who supported the renewal said critics were misinterpreting the vague language of the bill. Now one of those lawmakers, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), says the language does expand FISA and should be fixed “in the next intelligence bill.” – R.C.

----------------

Protonmail hands over the info per subpoena.

I don't know if they did the right or the wrong thing but this doesn't seem as private and secure as presented.

What do others think?

Protonmail is Swiss and the subpoena was from Spain.  (Nothing to do with American laws.)
