The current FISA process is overbroad, restricted only by weak legislation and executive orders that, experience has shown, do not create real accountability. Our advocacy here also stems from Principle 4 of Mozilla’s Manifesto: “Individuals’ security and privacy on the internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional.” The status quo of US government surveillance violates this principle and can threaten the human rights of journalists, dissidents, and even members of Congress. These principles were created in the aftermath of the Snowden revelations of 2013 that showed the world the catastrophic breadth of US government surveillance. Our Surveillance Principles for a Secure, Trusted Internet have served as the guiding force of our advocacy in this space. Mozilla has advocated through dozens of blog posts, regulatory filings, and amicus briefs for more transparency and due process in government surveillance in the United States. Amid the regular drumbeat of revelations regarding the abuses of the program, Mozilla calls on Congress to significantly reform FISA now.įISA Reform is Critical for Civil Liberties and Human Rights Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is set to expire at the end of the year.
