  • How the US Spies On Its Own Citizens

    How did a law meant to target foreign spies turn into a domestic surveillance system sweeping up millions of ordinary Americans without a warrant?

Discover how backdoor search loopholes allow the FBI, CIA, and NSA to query your private emails, texts, and digital files without showing probable cause, and what we can do to demand a Fourth Amendment warrant requirement.
