Thomas Massie (R-KY) has drafted a bill with the help of Naomi Brockwell (Ludlow Institute)—and introduced it co-sponsored with Lauren Boebert (R-CO)—which addresses the “third-party loophole” where the US government is able to obtain huge amounts of personal information from data brokers and other data collectors without a warrant or any oversight.
The Surveillance Accountability Act would:
Require a warrant for targeted investigations
Require a warrant for all surveillance
Prohibits warrantless use of facial recognition and license plate readers in public spaces
Eliminate buying data from data brokers by agencies where a warrant would typically be needed to obtain that data directly
Allow people to sue the government when their rights here have been violated
