Summary
The Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act would amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to stop government agencies from querying the contents of U.S. persons’ communications without a warrant, except in limited emergency, consent, or cybersecurity situations. It also adds new protections for records held by data brokers and other online service providers, restricting how the government can obtain that information. The changes are intended to protect privacy while preserving the ability to respond to genuine threats.
