PRESS Act Passes House Unanimously with Bipartisan Support, Advocates Urge Senate Action on Government Spying Protection
Nov 14, 2024, 06:35 PM
The PRESS Act, a legislative measure aimed at protecting journalists from government surveillance, has passed the House with unanimous support. The bill, which enjoys bipartisan backing, prohibits the government from seizing the records of citizen journalists or compelling them to disclose their sources. Advocates for press freedom are now urging the Senate to take action, as time is running out for the current legislative session. Key figures, including John Oliver, have publicly called for the Senate to advance the bill, emphasizing the importance of journalist-source confidentiality for a well-informed public. However, the future of the PRESS Act in the Senate remains uncertain.
