“Jake Laperruque, deputy director of the Security and Surveillance Project at the Center for Democracy & Technology, echoed concerns about Mr. Pulte’s potential role in intelligence-gathering.” www.vitallaw.com/new....
“According to an October 2025 survey by the Center for Democracy and Technology, nearly 1 in 5 high-school students have had, or have friends who have had, romantic relationships with AI.” www.wsj.com/opinion/...
CDT’s Laperruque: “We can’t stop that by meekly hoping Trump’s next appointees are less dangerous. Strong safeguards like a warrant rule are the only way to prevent abuse.” www.vitallaw.com/new....

CDT’s Null: “While some carriers already collect such details, there are specific circumstances where a person may need privacy and anonymity when seeking a cell phone, including if that person is a victim of domestic violence, or is a journalist or whistleblower.”
CDT’s Laperruque: “President Trump’s installation of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence shows that Trump wants absolute power to surveil Americans and misuse FISA against his political enemies.” www.vitallaw.com/new....
CDT’s Null: “This proposal represents a loss of privacy across the board, and from an agency whose remit includes protecting privacy. The FCC might let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch.”
“[CDT’s Eric Null] told 404 Media [] ‘To address the scourge of illegal robocalls, the FCC has unfortunately proposed to force every wireless subscriber in the US to sacrifice their privacy & give up significant personal details before receiving or renewing a wireless line.’“

President Trump now calling for a short term extension, asking Congress to kick the can for the third time in less than 3 months and keep warrantless surveillance active for the time Bill Pulte is running ODNI.
There's a clear way out of this mess, and this certainly is not it.

We can end the deadlock and resolve this issue now, but Leadership needs to stop muzzling debate and allow a vote on warrants and reforms, like we’ve always had in the past. Blocking off reform votes is the reason we’re in this mess, and allowing votes on reforms is the only way out of it
