Section 230 Repeal Bill Could Put Online Speech At Risk
If you're tired of censorship and surveillance, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. US Representatives Mark DeSaulnier and Jimmy Patronis have introduced a bill to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Act, that generally protects online platforms and services from liability for third party content.

FISA Section 702 Extension Faces House Vote With No Privacy Reforms
If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act expires in days. The bipartisan push to extend it without a single privacy reform is now accelerating, with House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, and President Trump all lining up behind an 18-month renewal that preserves the government’s ability to search Americans’ communications without a warrant. The House Rules Committee meet to consider H.R. 8035, the bill that would keep Section 702 alive through late 2027. Johnson has refused to allow amendments, telling reporters that adding reforms would threaten the bill’s passage. That position blocks the one change that privacy-focused lawmakers in both parties have spent years fighting for: a requirement that the FBI get a judge’s approval before searching a database of Americans’ phone calls, emails, and text messages that were collected without individual court orders. Trump posted on Truth Social today, calling on Republicans to “get a clean extension of FISA 702 through the House of Representatives this week.” He wrote, “I am asking Republicans to UNIFY and vote together on the test vote to bring a clean Bill to the floor. We need to stick together when this Bill comes before the House Rules Committee today to keep it CLEAN!” The president, who told lawmakers to “KILL FISA” during the 2024 reauthorization debate, wrote in a March Truth Social post that “whether you like FISA or not, it is extremely important to our Military.” Grassley announced his support for the clean extension this morning after the Department of Justice agreed to revise rules governing congressional oversight of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The DOJ committed to rolling back a Biden-era policy from November 2024 that had restricted how members of Congress could attend and observe FISC and FISCR proceedings, including banning note-taking and allowing the DOJ to exclude lawmakers from certain sessions. Those restrictions directly contradicted the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA), which Congress passed in April 2024 and which explicitly required congressional access to the surveillance courts. “I applaud DOJ for lifting its restrictions on congressional oversight of FISC and FISCR proceedings. With Congress’s access fully restored, the Trump administration has faithfully implemented the reforms Congress called for in its last FISA reauthorization and proven its commitment to transparency and the protection of civil liberties,” Grassley said. “Section 702 is one of our nation’s most valuable national security tools. Especially given the current threat environment, it’s imperative Congress doesn’t allow this critical authority to lapse. We must ensure American lives aren’t put at risk by a potential Section 702 expiration on April 20. The best path forward is for the House to pass a clean, 18-month FISA extension.” The DOJ agreed to stop excluding members of Congress from surveillance court proceedings, stop banning note-taking, and stop preventing lawmakers from sharing information with appropriately cleared colleagues. These were things Congress already required by law. The DOJ was violating its own statute, got caught, and agreed to comply. Grassley is treating compliance with existing law as a reason to skip reforms that would protect 330 million Americans from warrantless searches of their private communications. Nothing about the DOJ’s procedural fix addresses the core problem with Section 702: the FBI routinely searches a massive database of communications collected under the program to find and read Americans’ emails, texts, and phone calls, all without getting a warrant. The FISA Court itself called the FBI’s compliance problems “persistent and widespread” in 2022. FBI queries targeting Americans’ data rose 35% in 2025, according to the latest transparency report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The agency asking Congress for more time is the same one running more warrantless searches than ever. When RISAA was passed in 2024, it included 56 reforms and a two-year sunset specifically so Congress could continue negotiating a warrant requirement. That negotiation never happened. Congress spent two years doing nothing, and is now treating the deadline it created as an emergency that makes reform impossible. The warrant amendment came within a single vote of passing the House in 2024, failing in a 212-212 tie. A federal district court ruled in 2025 that the Fourth Amendment requires the government to obtain a warrant before searching Section 702 data for Americans’ communications. The legal and political momentum for reform has only grown since RISAA passed. Leadership in both chambers is ignoring all of it. Johnson can only afford to lose two Republican votes on the procedural rule to bring H.R. 8035 to the floor. Multiple members of the House Freedom Caucus, including Reps. Lauren Boebert, Tim Burchett, and Anna Paulina Luna have threatened to block the rule vote. Some want the SAVE America Act, a voter identification bill, attached to the FISA legislation. Others want actual surveillance reforms. If Republican defectors hold, Johnson will need Democrats to get the bill through. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has said his caucus will oppose the procedural rule, and 98 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus have formally pledged to vote against a clean extension. If the clean extension passes, Section 702 continues through late 2027 with no warrant requirement, no closure of the data broker loophole that lets agencies buy Americans’ information commercially, and no accountability for the compliance failures that the FISA Court keeps documenting.

Democratic Senators Urge Tech Platforms to Restrict AI Images, Including Altered Clothing and Body-Shape Edits
If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Democratic senators are broadening the definition of what counts as restricted online content, moving from earlier efforts focused on explicit deepfakes to a new campaign against what they call “non-nude sexualized” material. The new language dramatically expands the category of what can be censored, reaching beyond pornography or criminal exploitation to include images with altered clothing, edited body shapes, or suggestive visual effects. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware led the group of seven Democrats who signed a letter to Alphabet, Meta, Reddit, Snap, TikTok, and X. We obtained a copy of the letter for you here. The signatories — Tammy Baldwin, Richard Blumenthal, Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Ben Ray Luján, Brian Schatz, and Adam Schiff — are asking for records that define how each company classifies and removes this type of content, as well as any internal documents or moderator guidance about “virtual undressing” and similar AI edits. “We are particularly alarmed by reports of users exploiting generative AI tools to produce sexualized ‘bikini’ or ‘non-nude’ images of individuals without their consent and distributing them on platforms including X and others,” the senators wrote. “These fake yet hyper-realistic images are often generated without the knowledge or consent of the individuals depicted, raising serious concerns about harassment, privacy violations, and user safety.” Their argument rests on reports describing AI tools that can transform photos of clothed women into revealing deepfakes or fabricate images of sexualized poses. The senators describe this as evidence of a growing “crisis of image-based abuse” that undermines trust and safety online. But the language of the letter goes further than earlier initiatives that targeted explicit content. It introduces a much wider standard where mere suggestion or aesthetic change could qualify as “sexualized.” The call to prohibit “altered clothing” or “body-shape edits” effectively merges real abuse prevention with subjective judgments about appearance.

The likely result is that automated moderation systems, already known to misclassify satire or art, will increasingly suppress harmless or expressive images. The senators’ request, framed as a matter of safety and dignity, and capitalizing on recent headlines, moves the boundaries of acceptable online expression further into the realm of interpretation rather than clear evidence of harm.
