Data broker LexisNexis hired lobbyists ahead of Congress’ vote on reauthorizing Section 702 of FISA.
Congress has been trying to crack down on data brokers — and the data brokers are fighting back. In late March, the House unanimously passed a bill that would prevent Americans’ data from being sold to foreign adversaries. And an amendment on data collection is mixed up in the bill reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act , the controversial statute that authorizes the National Security Agency, which expires later this month.
“The Sheriffs of this great country don’t often keep score on House amendments,” the letter read, “but on this one, we will keep score and know who our friends are by their votes against Congressman Davidson’s amendment, which empowers the cartels and further erodes the rule of law in our nation.” With FISA set to expire at the end of the month, Congress will no doubt take the issue up again.
