Congressional Hearing on RISA Reforms and Biggs Amendment with Tom Tiffany

Published | Video Starts at 00:08

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chernesky, in your testimony, I'm going to read from it. It says RISA did little in the form of reforms while simultaneously dangerously expanding the scope of surveillance by changing the definition of what was considered an electronic communications service provider. Could you expand on that a little bit? What are you talking about there? That RISA actually did not solve the problem and may have made it worse. (00:08–00:24)

CLAIM

Asserts that RISA expanded surveillance scope by redefining electronic communications service providers.
