Sen. Rand Paul says “User should be able to sue Tech companies for Spying”

President helpful senator Rand Paul believes that tech companies should not be allowed for legal immunity from users suing them for government spying. The Patriot Act gave telecommunication companies resistance from being sued for granting Intelligence Agencies to tap phone or fiber channels. He didn’t say much deeper about how this opinion could become a law. Tech companies are allowing intelligence agencies to sneak into user phone or computer and often chocked from speaking about the concerned cooperation or they were unaware of such surveillance of undersea cables.
Techcruch saysAdministration officials are complaining about House Democrats stalling legislation that would grant immunity to any telecommunications carrier that assisted with its domestic spying program. Without that immunity cloak, the White House says, telecoms will hesitate to cooperate with such programs in the future. It's true that telecom assistance is crucial to successful electronic surveillance. But what's getting lost in all the heated rhetoric is that telecoms, under current law, already have immunity when they assist in lawful electronic surveillance. Congress specifically gave telecoms that legal cover in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. In the now-expired Protect America Act, which amended FISA, Congress also provided for telecom immunity in the course of lawful surveillance
These companies taking precaution from fraud prevention companies but still it’s not that helpful in order to prevent NSA or any agency to sneak in. in some example tech companies rather more cooperative with agencies for letting them tap the line like Hepting v. AT&T, but Rand thinks that there is no proper evidence for such spying Scandal, which is interesting, though there isn’t any government constraint on which they collect personal data. Especially Google has to come into strong inspection for how they treat user data, despite notifying users.
