 Nafees Syed and Kamel El Hilali, fellows at the Information Society Project at Yale Law School, wrote in CNN.com.
“The Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA) passed by Congress last month did anything but reform a system that subjects Americans to unconstitutional government surveillance … “While the law includes exemptions for some public facilities, such as restaurants and community centers, the number of businesses and entities that offer a Wi-Fi connection means that intelligence agencies may compel places such as airports, train stations, transport companies (trains, subways, buses) and shopping malls to convey their customers’ communications data to intelligence agencies upon presentation of a directive requiring them to cooperate. “This provision transforms a law intended to target non-US persons abroad into a domestic surveillance tool.” Comments are closed.
