SCOTUS declined to hear an appeal from lawyer challenging an anti-harassment rule. The lawsuit was revived due to the lawyer's concerns that he would risk violating the rule b/c of presentations he gives on offensive & derogatory language. reuters.com/legal/legalind…
Debates re: @CityofSanDiego vendors focus on illegal food vendors, but others sell things that are protected speech. Spaces for such activities have been designated in parks across town, but is "free speech in a box" really free speech at all? fox5sandiego.com/news/local-new…
Free speech is often vile, unrestrained, painful, & outright malicious. Delineating the boundaries b/w what constitutes protected speech & what constitutes an assault is rarely so important as when tempers flare and topics veer toward the controversial. thehill.com/opinion/educat…

Don’t let the government turn citizens into spies! freedom.press/newsletter/sto…
THERE WILL BE SENATE VOTES ON SECTION 702 TODAY. Please call this number (202-899-8938) ASAP to be connected to your Senators and urge them to vote “NO” on RISAA, which contains a “terrifying” provision (@RonWyden) that will force U.S. businesses to serve as NSA spies. 1/9
The government will not use new, unchecked surveillance powers responsibly. It already habitually abuses Section 702, intended for surveillance of foreigners, to search Americans’ communications. FPF's @SethAStern and @johncusack write in @Suntimes 👇🏼 chicago.suntimes.com/letters-to-the…
"Virtually any vendor who enters your home, or any business you visit, could be forced to become an involuntary government agent. That should chill you to the bone," explain @johncusack, @SethAStern Tell your senators to vote NO on RISAA. 202-899-8938 chicago.suntimes.com/letters-to-the…
This sounds like bad science fiction but it’s very real. If you value press freedom, personal privacy, or just not living in a surveillance state where your plumber might be involuntarily spying on you for the government, CALL YOUR SENATORS: (202) 899-8938 #NoToRISAA
Per @nytimes today, “ Ron Wyden is “warning that the provision could be used to conscript someone with access to a journalist’s laptop to extract communications between that journalist and a hypothetical foreign source who was targeted for intelligence.” x.com/rollingstone/s…
A terrifying expansion of Section 702, the surveillance law used by the FBI to spy on American journalists and protestors, is on the brink of becoming law. Tell the Senate to vote NO on RISAA by calling 202-899-8938
The US House voted to vastly expand government surveillance. The Senate must stop it | Caitlin Vogus theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…
This is a real emergency for press (and everyone else’s) freedom. The bill would hand intel agencies countless new ways to surveil journalists and their sources by commandeering ordinary Americans and businesses as government spies. Call your senator ASAP!
URGENT: Please read thread below. We have just days to convince the Senate NOT to pass a “terrifying” law (@RonWyden) that will force U.S. businesses to serve as NSA spies. CALL YOUR SENATOR NOW using this call tool (click below or call 202-899-8938). 1/25 act.demandprogress.org/call/no-on-sec…
The Senate could vote any time on #FISA reauthorization that includes the recklessly broad Make Everyone A Spy provision that can be expose untold scores of Americans to secret #Section702 directives, which are issued without any court review. nytimes.com/2024/04/16/us/…

Catherine Herridge, former FOX and CBS News journalist who is currently being held by a federal judge in civil contempt for not divulging sources, says to Rep. @Jim_Jordan: "I can only speak for myself. When my records were seized, I felt it was a journalistic rape."

UPDATE: Following widespread criticism, @Cornell has announced changes to new and concerning campus policies that limit student speech and expression. But are the changes a step towards real free expression, or are they just more empty promises?
BREAKING: FIRE has learned that, despite naming “freedom of expression” the theme for its ‘23-’24 academic year, @Cornell recently adopted new policies that broadly and unreasonably restrict student expression.
