DOJ appears willing to lean into transparency in Section 702 surveillance fight

A major government surveillance power faces big questions in 2023
Sam Sabin

https://www.eff.org/702-spying
Decoding 702: What is Section 702?
Why can the U.S. government collect my emails? 
Under authority ostensibly granted by something called Section 702, the U.S. government routinely collects and searches the online communications of innocent Americans without a warrant through what are commonly called “upstream” and “PRISM”  (now called “downstream”) surveillance. 
Section 702 is a surveillance authority passed as part of the FISA Amendments Act in 2008. That law amended the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978.
Section 702 is supposed to do exactly what its name promises: collection of foreign intelligence from non-Americans located outside the United States. As the law is written, the intelligence community cannot use Section 702 programs to target Americans, who are protected by the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. But the law gives the intelligence community space to target foreign intelligence in ways that inherently and intentionally sweep in Americans’ communications.
Currently, Congress has to renew Section 702 every few years. It was last renewed in 2018 and is set to expire at the end of 2023.
The bill that was most recently passed, S. 139, endorses nearly all warrantless searches of databases containing Americans’ communications collected under Section 702. It allows for the restarting of “about” collection, an invasive type of surveillance that the NSA ended in 2017 after being criticized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for privacy violations. And it includes a six-year sunset, delaying Congress’ best opportunity to debate the limits NSA surveillance.
The Congressional failure in 2018 redoubles our commitment to seek justice through the courts and through the development and spread of technology that protects our privacy and security. Read more about our efforts here.

Rules for Radicals
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_Radicals

Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals is a 1971 book by community activist and writer Saul D. Alinsky about how to successfully run a movement for change. It was the last book written by Alinsky, and it was published shortly before his death in 1972.[1]: 41  His goal was to create a guide for future community organizers, to use in uniting low-income communities, or "Have-Nots", in order for them to gain by any effective, non-violent means social, political, legal, environmental and economic wealth and power.[2] Inside of it, Alinsky compiled the lessons he had learned throughout his experiences of community organizing from 1939 to 1971. He targeted these lessons at the current, new generation of radicals.[3]
The Rules
* "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
* "Never go outside the expertise of your people."
* "Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
* "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
* "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. ...
* "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."

Welcome to our website about the murder of Vince Foster, Deputy White House Counsel under President Clinton.  Brett Kavanaugh was in charge of the Foster death investigation and led the cover-up inside the Office of the Independent Counsel.  A federal court ordered Independent Counsel Ken Starr to include evidence, found in government records, of an FBI cover-up, to the final Report.

Wikipedia edits[edit]
In August 2007, Virgil Griffith, a Caltech computation and neural-systems graduate student, created WikiScanner, a searchable database that linked changes made by anonymous Wikipedia editors to companies and organizations from which the changes were made. The database cross-referenced logs of Wikipedia edits with publicly available records pertaining to the Internet IP addresses edits were made from.[78] Griffith was motivated by the edits from the United States Congress,[79][80][81][82] and wanted to see if others were similarly promoting themselves. The tool was designed to detect conflict of interest edits.[83] Among his findings were that FBI computers were used to edit the FBI article on Wikipedia.[84] Although the edits correlated with known FBI IP addresses, there was no evidence that the changes actually came from a member or employee of the FBI, only that someone who had access to their network had edited the FBI article on Wikipedia.[80] Wikipedia spokespersons received Griffith's "WikiScanner" positively, noting that it helped prevent conflicts of interest from influencing articles[84] as well as increasing transparency[80] and mitigating attempts to remove or distort relevant facts.[85]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgil_Griffith
Virgil Griffith
Computer career[edit]
Griffith has given talks at the hacker conferences Interz0ne, PhreakNIC, and HOPE.
At Interz0ne 1 in 2002, he met Billy Hoffman, a Georgia Tech student, who had discovered a security flaw in the campus magnetic ID card system called "BuzzCard". He and Hoffman collaborated to study the flaw and attempted to give a talk about it at Interz0ne 2 in April 2003. A few hours before the presentation, he and Hoffman were served with a cease and desist order from corporate lawyers acting for Blackboard Inc.[18][19] Two days later, it was followed by a lawsuit alleging that they had stolen trade secrets and violated both the Digital Millennium Copyright Act[20][21] and the Economic Espionage Act.[22] The lawsuit was settled later that year.[23]
On August 14, 2007, Griffith released a software utility, WikiScanner, that tracked Wikipedia article edits from unregistered accounts back to their originating IP addresses and identified the corporations or organizations to which they belonged.[24] Griffith described his mission in developing WikiScanner as "to create minor public-relations disasters for companies and organizations I dislike."[2]
In 2008, together with Aaron Swartz, Griffith designed the Tor2web proxy.[25][26] In 2016, he was fired from the Tor team for attempting to sell de-anonymized Tor2web traffic.[citation needed][27][28]
On Ethereum, Griffith writes Ethereum "is an unprecedented arena for playing cooperative games", and "enables powerful economic vehicles we don’t yet understand", by bringing cooperative game theory into new domains.[29] As of 2019 Griffith's homepage stated that he worked for the Ethereum Foundation.

Breggin and Malone: analysis and suggested solution
MERYL NASS
 
I consider both Robert Malone and Catherine Austin Fitts good friends and extremely effective and knowledgeable, creative, brilliant warriors. Both I believe share with me the same conception of our world. I have never met or spoken to Matthias Desmet and I slightly know the Breggins.
While I was not taken with Desmet’s theory of mass formation or Malone’s term mass formation psychosis it seems ridiculous to go on the warpath about such terms or the concepts they represent. To me, much of the population has gone mad, has lost the ability to see clearly or think logically, and whether we call it psychosis, brainwashing, lemmings, the result of 5th generation warfare or something else matters not.

In recent years, major media organizations have been lobbying Congress to enact legislation, the “Journalism Competition and Preservation Act,” requiring search engine providers to engage in a form of collective bargaining about the tax they would pay to media publishers for the privilege of providing links to their news articles, backed up by mandatory interest arbitration in which the thumb would be placed on the scales by simply assuming that the search engine companies could not refuse to provide links and would be required to pay something.

Bipartisan Panic: 26 Senators Support Terrible, Dangerous, Unconstitutional ‘KOSA Act’
from the congressional-mass-hysteria dept
Tue, May 2nd 2023 02:42pm - Mike Masnick
Passing blatantly unconstitutional dangerous laws “to protect the children” based on totally unsubstantiated moral panics appears to be part of a bipartisan mass hysteria these days. The Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA, is officially back. And, with it, the recognition that over a quarter of the Senate has bought into this dangerous, unconstitutional nonsense:
It’s sponsored by long-term anti-internet Senators Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn, and has a ton of co-sponsors, who seem all too eager to support this kind of nonsense:
The Kids Online Safety Act has been cosponsored by U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Tammy

Encryption keeps us safe. Whether you’re sharing passwords, working on sensitive journalism, obtaining an abortion, or simply don’t want the government rifling through your messages, encryption defends our digital privacy.

But two bills are coming through Congress that would erode encryption and limit freedom of expression on the internet. These bills, EARN IT and STOP CSAM, have a noble goal: to reduce the availability of child sexual abuse material on the internet. But while messaging, social media, and cloud storage companies are already required to take down child sexual abuse material they know is on their platform, EARN IT and STOP CSAM take the law one step further by incentivizing scanning of all our communications. 
While the EARN IT Act attempted to create carveouts for encryption, in practice, the bill undermines encryption by allowing “client-side scanning” - scanning on devices before the message is encrypted. Worse, EARN IT allows states to decide which liability standard to impose against platforms, which means some platforms could be held responsible for material they did not know was on their platform, further incentivizing invasive scanning of all communications. 
Somehow, the STOP CSAM Act is even worse. It creates a Section 230 carveout, adding liability in cases of negligence and recklessness, allowing private parties to sue platforms. The likely result will be proactive censorship of a wide variety of non-child abuse content. (If the past is any indication, much of this censorship will affect LGBTQ creators.) And as with EARN IT, platforms will likely rely on increased scanning of our communications to comply with these laws if passed. With a lower legal threshold than EARN IT, encryption alone could be evidence of negligence if child sexual abuse material is found on a platform.
Tell Congress to vote no on this damaging legislation

I urge you to vote against the STOP CSAM and EARN IT Acts. While well-intentioned, these bills deal serious damage to our privacy. By incentivizing scanning and adding further legal liability for CSAM on platforms, these bills undermine the privacy protections afforded by encryption. Existing law provides mechanisms for the reporting and investigation of CSAM found on platforms. Both STOP CSAM and EARN IT raise platforms’ liability, incentivizing intrusive monitoring of all communications and content stored. Please defend encryption and vote against these damaging bills.

Feds rethink warrantless search stats and – oh look, a huge drop in numbers
119,000 instances of homeland snooping as the power to do so comes under review
Jessica Lyons Hardcastle
Tue 2 May 2023 // 01:56 UTC
Warrantless searches of US residents' communications by the FBI dropped sharply last year – from about 3.4 million in 2021 to 119,383 in 2022, according to Uncle Sam.
But that is still likely tens of thousands more people than should have been caught up in the FBI's domestic surveillance efforts, according to advocates for reform of Section 702 – the legislative instrument that allows warrantless snooping.
The numbers mentioned above were revealed in the annual Office of the Director of National Intelligence report, released at the end of last week. The report came just after Congress held a subcommittee hearing on Section 702 surveillance authority.
Section 702 is a provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and gives US government snoops the authority to surveil Americans

Federal Court Rejects FBI’s Attempt To Glomar Its Way Out Of A Trump-Related FOIA Lawsuit
Legal Issues
from the denied?-confirmed! dept
Tue, May 16th 2023 03:49pm - Tim Cushing
After Donald Trump was forced to vacate the Oval Office to make way for its newest tenant, he apparently decided to cement his legacy by walking off with boxes full of classified documents. When the National Archive and Records Administration began filing away the records Trump actually deigned to turn over to it, it found a bunch of classified information. This led to an investigation by the DOJ and, ultimately, a raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence to recover any other classified documents the ex-president might have taken with him.
Trump’s response to this investigation and raid was just as nonsensical as his response to any other of his numerous scandals: he claimed he had issued a standing order to immediately declassify any classified documents he walked out the door with. This obviously makes no sense. First, the President can’t actually issue this sort of order. Second, even if a President could, there would still need to be a declassification review process to ensure documents were properly redacted before being placed into the public domain.
Finally, his claim of a standing declassification order was rebutted by several Trump administration officials, his former national security advisor (John Bolton), his former Attorney General (Bill Barr), and two former White House Chiefs of Staff.
The Massachusetts branch of the ACLU decided to ask around to see if any of the many agencies generating classified documents had a copy of this supposed standing order from the President

It’s a fact: You can violate a government employee’s rights while being a government employee. Sure, it’s more tricky than violating rights as a government employee (when targeting non-government employees), but it can still be done.
Constitutional protections are a bit more limited for government employees, but they don’t cease to exist. Every American has access to these rights, even if they’re employed by the entity that can far more easily curtail the rights of others.
Most of the cases we’ve dealt with here at Techdirt involve First Amendment cases where public employees have been punished/silenced for speech made off the clock. Whether or not the speech could be considered an extension of the government weighs heavily in these cases

THE FBI'S WAR ON FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
BY NATALIE ROBINS
Richly researched broadside against the FBI's invasion of the rights of US writers to think for themselves; by the co-author of the Edgar-winning Savage Grace (1985). Aside from the 146 writers whose files were recovered from the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act for use in this book, Robins lists even more whose files she did not get access to or who are not discussed here for lack of space. Files of living authors can be released only to the authors themselves, but Robins did write to many—such as Arthur Miller, Norman Mailer, and Kay Boyle- -who had recovered their own files and who passed on to her their response to notes by FBI agents and informants. Judging from Robins's account, which covers the Bureau's snooping on writers and books—from John Reed and WW I through the recent campaign to access library rolls—the FBI seems full of idiots. As Murray Kempton says here: ``These files are so goddamn inept...You think of a lunatic sitting there and sayi

Massachusetts Poised To Make Calls Free For Prison Inmates And Families
Policy
from the fixing-a-broken-systems dept
Thu, Aug 10th 2023 03:04pm - Karl Bode
Massachusetts is now poised to make calls for prison inmates and their families free. The decision comes after decades where the government’s coddling of prison telecom monopolies resulted in inmate families being charged an arm and a leg simply to chat briefly with their incarcerated loved ones.
According to Bolts, the reforms are part of the state’s latest budget plan, and will also limit commissary markups in all jails and prisons to 3 percent above an item’s purchase price. It’s a big deal for inmate families who have historically been ripped off and ignored by the federal government:
Gosselin says she’s spent about $5,000 just to talk with Syrelle since the start of their relationship, and roughly the same amount on purchases for him at the prison commissary: an extension cord, a small television, chicken, vegetables, medicated protein shakes.
“I go broke, literally. I make my bank account negative,” Gosselin told Bolts. “I don’t do much for myself; I just do for him. My mom and everybody always tells

There’s a massive gap between how the policed view “reasonable” policing and the view held by those who do the policing. While most of us would prefer more accountability, transparency, and de-escalation, those who claim to “serve and protect” seem to prefer the polar opposite.
We get opacity, violence, and insular behavior any time we question why cops need to treat even the most routine of interactions with implied — if not actual — deadly force.
And that dichotomy has once again been clearly illustrated by victims of undue force deployment. While this stop does involve a license plate, it does not involve the tech (automated license plate readers [ALPRs]) normally associated with suspicionless stops that soon escalate to guns-out encounters with “reasonably scared” law enforcement officers.
Instead, it deals with normal human error. But when cops screw up, it’s the people they serve who can end up dead. At the very least, human error by cop means the casual terrorizing of people who’ve done nothing wrong. And so, as is detailed here in this report by Rebecca Carballo for the New York Times, the end

Government Defends FBI Agents Placing Innocent People On No Fly List

The reason we’re required to show ID at airport security is so that the government can check who we are against No Fly and other watch lists. That’s the reason for REAL ID requirements (that haven’t yet been implemented after nearly 20 years) and why they’re concerned that CLEAR allowed three people over the past year to skip TSA ID checks without having their identities verified.
But the underlying No Fly and watch lists that require extra security screening are, themselves, flawed.
No Fly Lists include people added by mistake (FBI agent checking the wrong box on a form or having a name similar to someone else)
And even added maliciously (such as retaliation for refusing to cooperate in an investigation).

On the Prospect of Blackmail by the NSA, FBI

Jay Stanley,
Senior Policy Analyst,
ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project

October 15, 2013

Sometimes when I hear public officials speaking out in defense of NSA spying, I can’t help thinking, even if just for a moment, “what if the NSA has something on that person and that’s why he or she is saying this?”
Of course it’s natural, when people disagree with you, to at least briefly think, “they couldn’t possibly really believe that, there must be some outside power forcing them to take that position.” Mostly I do not believe that anything like that is now going on.
But I cannot be 100% sure, and therein lies the problem. The breadth of the NSA’s newly revealed capabilities makes the emergence of such suspicions in our society inevitable. Especially given that we are far, far away from having the kinds of oversight mechanisms in place that would provide ironclad assurance that these vast powers won’t be abused. And that highlights the highly corrosive nature of allowing the NSA such powers. Everyone has dark suspicions about their political opponents from time to time, and Americans are highly distrustful of government in general. When there is any opening at all for members of the public to suspect that officials from the legislative and judicial branches could be vulnerable to leverage from secretive agencies within the executive branch—and when those officials can even suspect they might be subject to leverage—that is a serious problem for our democracy.
There has already been prominent speculation about this threat. David Sirota explicitly mulled the subject in this (paywalled) piece, as have writers at Firedoglake and TechDirt. Whistleblower Russell Tice has also alleged that while at the agency he saw wiretap information for members of Congress and the judiciary firsthand. Such fears explain why it is considered an especially serious matter any time elected or judicial officials are eavesdropped upon. The New York Times reported in 2009 that some NSA officials had tried to wiretap a member of Congress without a warrant. Members of Congress (and perhaps the judiciary) surely also noted a Washington Post report based on Snowden documents that the NSA had intercepted a “large number” of calls from the Washington DC area code due to a “programming error.”
Dark suspicions about the NSA will also draw powerful support from the historical record. Already a sitting U.S. Senator has invoked the memory of J. Edgar Hoover as a means of expressing misgivings about NSA spying. It can be useful to recall the history with a little detail. Journalist Ronald Kessler describes the former FBI director’s M.O. in his book on Hoover:
“The moment [Hoover] would get something on a senator,” said William Sullivan, who became the number three official in the bureau under Hoover, “he’d send one of the errand boys up and advise the senator that ‘we’re in the course of an investigation, and we by chance happened to come up with this data on your daughter. But we wanted you to know this. We realize you’d want to know it.’ Well, Jesus, what does that tell the senator? From that time on, the senator’s right in his pocket.”
Lawrence J. Heim, who was in the Crime Records Division, confirmed to me that the bureau sent agents to tell members of Congress that Hoover had picked up derogatory information on them.
“He [Hoover] would send someone over on a very confidential basis,” Heim said. As an example, if the Metropolitan Police in Washington had picked up evidence of homosexuality, “he [Hoover] would have him say, ‘This activity is known by the Metropolitan Police Department and some of our informants, and it is in your best interests to know this.’ But nobody has ever claimed to have been blackmailed. You can deduce what you want from that.”
Even in 1945, a month after taking office, President Truman wrote of Hoover’s FBI, “We want no Gestapo or Secret Police. FBI is tending in that direction. They are dabbling in sex life scandals and plain blackmail.” Two years later he observed, “all Congressmen and Senators are afraid of him.”
It wasn’t just the FBI. In the 1970s, for example, the “intelligence” division of the Chicago Police Department similarly engaged in widespread institutionalized blackmail efforts. “A principal tactic of this operation was the dissemination of file material for the purpose of doing damage to targets held in disfavor,” writes Frank Donner in his chronicle of Cold War-era police repression, Protectors of Privilege. To take just one example: the police carried out intensive surveillance of the personal life of the director of the Community Renewal Society (CRS), a do-good religious organization aimed at improving inner-city life—as well as hundreds of others involved with the group. The reason? Because the organization had “views and goals diametrically opposed to those of the administration of this city.” A columnist quoted an unnamed insider as saying about one target, “They wanted to see if they could get something on him that was dirty… something out of his personal life that would be used to discredit him…. There wasn’t a move he made that they didn’t know about.” Documents later revealed that at least some of these investigations were ordered directly by the mayor’s office.
When a coalition of civic, religious, and community groups in Chicago called the AER started a campaign to uncover and litigate against these practices, police fought back. As Donner writes, Chicago’s police superintendent, testifying in 1978, issued a cry that sounds all-too-familiar to our ears today:
the superintendent charged that the lawsuit had rendered the Chicago Police Department “virtually helpless to protect the city from terrorist activity.” In fact, at the time the charges were made, the [Chicago Police Department’s] generously funded intelligence division was operating eight intelligence squads, including one specializing in terrorism.
Although Chicago under Mayor Richard J. Daley was the worst, Donner shows that these kinds of abuses by “intelligence units” were widespread during the Cold War (and before that, during the labor battles of the early 20th century).
If we allow the NSA to retain the powers it wants, it’s not at all crazy to worry about how those powers could be used now or in the future to grab even more frightening power through blackmail of ostensible overseers. And it doesn’t require crude, explicit blackmail to affect behavior and confer power through personal information; even the vaguest threat or intimation of eavesdropping and exposure can introduce substantial chilling effects, even on those who may think they have “nothing to hide.”
In many ways such fears, although often unspoken, lie at the core of what so many people find objectionable about allowing government agencies such vast eavesdropping powers. The understanding that personal information about people can confer leverage over those people is at the heart of the privacy issue.
And again, even in the absence of any actual malfeasance, suspicion of such is itself a problem.
If there’s a silver lining to this, it’s the fact that (as I wrote about here) when it comes to privacy, good policy often emerges only when politicians and other policymakers start to feel personally threatened by its violation. Maybe as members of Congress and others start to live their lives under the cloud of (even theoretically possible) NSA surveillance, will we see the strong response that is needed.

Alexander Charns Freedom of Information Act Collection
This collection contains thousands of FBI documents procured by North Carolina lawyer Alexander Charns through the Freedom of Information Act over eight years.  His research reveals the extent of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s secret activity to influence Supreme Court decisions and to discredit non-compliant Supreme Court Justices through wiretaps and disinformation.  In the process Charns filed hundreds of Freedom of Information requests and brought lawsuits against the FBI.  Charns was given special permission to research Justice Abe Fortas’ papers which showed Fortas had been an informer to the FBI and the White House during his tenure which ended in disgrace after an ethics scandal.  Charns' pioneering work was the first to expose this FBI constitutional violation of the separation of powers.
The collection has three linear feet of documents provided by the FBI and from Charns' own correspondence and legal actions to obtain them.  It includes files on Warren Burger, Thurgood Marshall, Lewis Powell, Harry Blackman, Byron White, William Rehnquist and Carolyn Agger, the widow of Justice Fortas.  The documents in this collection were obtained by Mr. Charns after the publication of  Cloak and Gavel : FBI wiretaps, bugs, informers and the Supreme Court (University of Illinois Press) in 1992. The collection provides opportunities to expand upon the findings of Mr. Charns’ book.

‘Whitey’ Bulger Judge Needed Security After ‘Perceived Threat’ From the FBI
WHO DO YOU TRUST?
Judge Mark L. Wolf is campaigning for an International Anti-Corruption Court after experiencing the threat of corruption back home in the U.S.
Nico Hines
Updated Dec. 14, 2023 
The judge who exposed the “Whitey” Bulger scandal has told The Daily Beast that a “perceived threat” from the FBI against his family during the high-profile case has helped to spur on his campaign to create an International Anti-Corruption Court.
Senior District Court Judge Mark L. Wolf said he never felt threatened in years on the bench—despite handling numerous organized crime cases—until he was on the verge of exposing corruption inside the FBI.
Wolf presided over a 1998 hearing into why the FBI had failed to tell prosecutors that James “Whitey” Bulger had been a high-level informant for 15 years. He discovered that the FBI had protected Bulger and his colleague Stephen “the Rifleman” Flemmi from a host of criminal allegations—including murder—so that they could continue to act as Mafia informants. Bulger was even tipped off

House Committees Offer Up Competing Section 702 Reform Bills. Only One Has Any Actual Reforms.
Privacy
from the protecting-all-Americans-vs.-protecting-career-politicians dept
Mon, Dec 11th 2023 01:29pm - Tim Cushing
As is the case any time surveillance powers are up for renewal, there’s always a chance to reform them. Most of these efforts tend to get derailed by a majority of legislators who just want to push things through before any lively discussion takes place. Every so often, legislation is passed that modifies authorized powers after the fact.
Despite the fact that declining to renew the powers is always an option, this is a route that has never been taken. Even with plenty of Republicans pushing to severely restrict Section 702 for purely political reasons, no one seems to have the guts to state “Hey, we’re just not going to do this any more.”
But as the clock winds down on the year, nudging everyone closer to voting on a reauthorization, competing reform bills have been brought forward by two different House committees. But one is reform in name only. The other contains actual reforms.
The House Intelligence Committee is pitching a set of reforms that barely contain any reform. Of main concern to most privacy activists and privacy-focused legislators is the FBI’s warrantless access to US persons’ info via Section 702 collections. The FBI has constantly abused this power to turn a foreign-facing NSA collection into a domestic surveillance tool.
The Intelligence Committee’s bill (H.R. 611 [PDF]) reforms hardly anything. It codifies voluntary policy changes enacted by the FBI to limit its own abuses. The only warrant requirement is in cases involving criminal investigations, which is an extremely small subset of FBI backdoor searches.
Rather than protect all Americans from warrantless searches by the FBI, the Intelligence Committee’s bill would only protect the Americans they respect the most: themselves and those similarly situated on Capitol Hill.
The bill also includes numerous provisions that would further protect members of Congress or other high-profile officials, including requiring a lawmaker’s consent before gathering information for a “defensive briefing” about a lawmaker being targeted by a foreign entity. It also requires the FBI to notify a member of Congress, with some limitation, if they have been queried in the 702 database. 
These provisions were prompted by the FBI’s (extremely questionable) search of Page’s communications via its 702 powers, as well as notifications received after the fact by oth

NYPD Still Shelling Out Millions In Lawsuit Settlements Every Year, Still Protecting Its Worst Officers From Accountability
Legal Issues
from the bleeding-the-city-dry dept
Mon, Dec 11th 2023 07:45pm - Tim Cushing
The NYPD’s refusal to engage in nearly any form of accountability means it’s up to the city’s residents to pay billions for police work that adds tens of millions to the tab with lawsuit settlements.
In 2022, the NYPD cost residents $121 million in settlements. This came on top of the NYPD’s budget, which cleared $11 billion. Sure, it’s the largest local law enforcement agency in the United States, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be doing something to cut expenses that should be considered discretionary. Imposing better discipline would deter officers from violating rights and regulations so often it takes another hundred million to set things right.
NYPD officers routinely engage in misconduct, racking up thousands of complaints. The NYPD routinely refuses to discipline officers, preferring to exonerate them in closed sessions that rarely result in discipline of any severity.
This total of 207 substantiated force allegations is based on the data provided to OIG-NYPD by CCRB. The total number of substantiated force allegations represents approximately 2.0% of the more than 10,000 allegations of force received by CCRB from 2010 to 2014.
That’s from an Inspector General’s report

Consortium News Performs Service to Humanity By Filing Lawsuit Against Media Watchdog Organization Run By Ex-Spooks that Promotes Censorship Under Guise of Combatting “Disinformation”
By John Kiriakou - December 12, 2023
The real question was how the company (or its algorithm) would determine what news was true and what was false. For starters, NewsGuard would send readers to official U.S. Government sources.
More cynically, Crovitz’s pitch noted that “Other content-moderation allies include intelligence and national security officials, reputation management providers, and government agencies” which contract with the firm to identify misinformation trends. Crovitz said that instead of only fact-checking individual pieces of information, NewsGuard could rate the “overall reliability” of a website and “prebunk” information there.
In the end, Twitter wasn’t interested in the service. But Crovitz and his partners forged ahead. Most importantly, it was NewsGuard’s admission in that pitch that led to the Consortium News lawsuit.

Over a decade ago, I pointed out that as Google kept trying to worm its way deeper into our lives, a key Achilles’ heel was its basically non-existent customer service and unwillingness to ever engage constructively with users the company fucks over. At the time, I dubbed it Google’s “big, faceless, white monolith” problem, because that’s how it appears to many customers. Going all the way back to 2009, I had suggested that the company needed not just better customer support, but something like a user advocate.
This issue shows up time and time again. The company screws people over and generally there’s no one to talk to. Too bad. Talk to the white monolith. We’ve faced it ourselves here at Techdirt.

Text Messages, Emails Show KBI Had Full Knowledge Of Raid On Kansas Newspaper’s Office
Legal Issues

Tue, Dec 12th 2023 12:11pm - Tim Cushing
On August 11, the Marion County PD — with the assistance of the Kansas Department of Revenue, the county sheriff’s office, and (for some @#$!%&! reason) the local fire marshal — raided the office of the Marion County Record, along with the home of its co-owner, 98-year-old Joan Meyer.
The raid was prompted by the very expansive reading of two state laws, one involving identity fraud and the other involving computer crimes. The first response from nearly everyone but Police Chief Gideon Cody was a denial of knowledge, much less involvement.
But as reporters kept digging into the story, the denials — starting with the county attorney Joel Ensey’s claim of innocence when he asked a court to quash the warrants — began to unravel. The DA claimed he’d never seen the warrants prior to their service. But an email exposed this lie, showing Chief Cody had informed of his plans to search the paper’s office, as well as sent him copies of the

Journalists and other activists continue to dive into this 269 gigabyte treasure trove, teasing out additional information law enforcement agencies certainly wish was still their little secret.
Some early reporting highlighted the panicky bulletins and alerts issued by the DHS and FBI. The DHS tended to get duped by viral videos or encourage the domestic surveillance of people engaged in First Amendment activities. The FBI, on the other hand, was warning law enforcement that consumer products like Ring doorbell cameras now made it pretty much impossible for officers

THE BOSS: J. EDGAR HOOVER AND THE GREAT AMERICAN INQUISITION. By Athan G. Theoharis1 and John Stuart Cox.2 Philadelphia, Pa.: Temple University Press. 1988.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1989 is generally pre- sumed to bear relatively little resemblance to the FBI as it existed in May of 1972 when J. Edgar Hoover, the Bureau's director since 1924, died suddenly at the age of seventy-seven. The panoply of investigative horror stories that began with revelations about the dirty tricks escapades of "COINTELPRO," then expanded during Watergate and finally culminated during the 1975-1976 Senate hearings of the Church Committee gradually gave way to the image of an ostensibly better managed and less political FBI whose recov- ery was symbolized by the apparently successful directorship of for- mer federal appellate judge William H. Webster.
In the last year or so, however, those roseate assumptions have been cast into greater doubt than at any time in more than a decade as three contemporary stories that seem like total throwbacks to the Hoover-era FBI have unfolded in the public press: first, the embar- rassing tale of the Bureau's admittedly over broad and at times ham-handed investigation of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES); second, the stunningly racist har- assment that one black Bureau agent, Donald Rochon, apparently experienced at the hands of his erstwhile FBI colleagues in the Omaha and Chicago field offices; and, third, a U.S. District Court verdict finding the FBI guilty of widespread racial discrimination in employment practices against its own Hispanic Special Agents.
These recent embarrassments ought not to come as such a sur- prise. The internal world of the FBI has changed a good deal less overthepastfifteenyearsthanmanypeopleassume. Externalover- sight of Bureau investigations by Justice Department lawyers and congressional Intelligence Committees, much-heralded a decade ago as an all-purpose guarantee against Hoover-style political ex- cesses, has hardly any effect on the workaday world of field agents'
the "highly professional, sophisticated" FBI.
Those who presume that the Webster-era FBI became a sub- stantially transformed and significantly more able police bureau- cracy than what existed at the end of Hoover's reign ought to ponder carefully the accumulating evidence of these past two years. Simple competence does not appear to be American counterintel- ligence's strong suit. Ham-handed over-investigation of essentially harmless political dissenters such as CISPES appears as ideologi- cally misguided as it is wasteful. The internal, racially focused har- assment of Agent Rochon seems to have gone far, far beyond the sort of office hijinks that some Bureau supervisors initially sought to dismiss it as. The FBI's loss of the Hispanic agents' discrimination suit provides a formally-adjudicated verdict that systemic-and not just idiosyncratic-problems are widespread. The dismissal of Agent Ryan for conscientiously dissenting from the Bureau's still- powerful conservative political consensus shows that some other Hoover-era values remain strong as well. The more the FBI seems to change, the more it may really remain the sam
