Tech companies oppose Biden administration's move to expand surveillance authority, fearing customer loss to foreign competitors due to increased government access to data.
Legal experts warn that the proposed provision in the RISAA bill could compel a wide range of businesses and individuals to assist US spies in accessing communications data.
The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) is urging Congress to avoid passing RISAA, citing concerns about the broadening of entities covered under the Section 702 program.
ITI states that changes in the House bill could drive customers away from US technology companies, citing the perceived exposure to government surveillance.
