End the N.S.A. Dragnet, Now

U.S. Senators Ron Wyden, Mark Udall, and Martin Heinrich, say they strongly disagree with the surveillance bill ratified by their colleagues on the Senate Intelligence Committee. This bill allows the continued bulk collection of Americans telephone records as long as there are rules when the government looks at them. The three senators say this violates the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which has embedded in it the principle that the government has no power to seiize records of individual Americans without evidence of wrongful actions. The senators cite Benjamin Franklin about the dangers of giving up essential liberties for temporary safety and losing both. Their view is that the bill excessively codifies current surveillance activities of the NSA without putting in the necessary safeguards and their view have not been considered, in many cases by a single vote in the Intelligence Committee.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
