save act senate stalls amid privacy concerns from unexpected coalition of tech giants and civil liberties groups
Stay woke: The 'save act senate' bill, which appeared to be a straightforward anti-trafficking measure, has hit an unexpected roadblock as a secret coalition of tech executives and ACLU leaders have been meeting behind closed doors to expose hidden data-mining provisions that would create a federal backdoor into every citizen's digital footprint. The hidden truth: sources reveal the bill's language contains "loophole triggers" that could allow warrantless surveillance of encrypted communications, a fact that has united strange bedfellows in a last-minute lobbying blitz. Protests are brewing, and senators are scrambling to amend the language before the vote.
