The petition was denied because the entity did not satisfy the definition of &#8220;electronic communication service provider,&#8221; and was instead deemed to be a provider of a product or service. That definition may change, it seems.<\/p>\n<p>Goitein is not alone in her concern about the ECSP definition. She <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LizaGoitein\/status\/1734249949565513812\">noted that<\/a> a FISA Court <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/wex\/amicus\">amici<\/a> \u2013 the law firm ZwillGen \u2013 has taken the unusual step of speaking out against the expanded definition of an ECSP.<\/p>\n<p>In an <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zwillgen.com\/law-enforcement\/fisa-reform-bill-702-surveillance\/\">assessment<\/a> published last week, ZwillGen attorneys Marc Zwillinger and Steve Lane raised concerns about the FRRA covering a broad set of businesses and their employees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By including any &#8216;service provider&#8217; \u2013 rather than any &#8216;other communication service provider&#8217; \u2013 that has access not just to communications, but also to the &#8216;equipment that is being or may be used to transmit or store \u2026 communications,&#8217; the expanded definition would appear to cover datacenters, colocation providers, business landlords, shared workspaces, or even hotels where guests connect to the internet,&#8221; they explained. They added that the addition of the term &#8220;custodian&#8221; to the service provider definition makes it apply to any third party providing equipment, storage \u2013 or even cleaning services.<\/p>\n<p>The Brennan Center paper also raised other concerns \u2013 like the exemption for members of Congress from such surveillance. The FRRA bill requires the FBI to get permission from a member of Congress when it wants to conduct a query of their communications. No such courtesy is afforded to the people these members of Congress represent.<\/p>\n<p>Goitein urged Americans to contact their representative and ask for a &#8220;no&#8221; vote on the FRRA and a &#8220;yes&#8221; on HR 6570, the Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
