The EFF supports the USA FREEDOM Act as a first step, saying it does not go far enough.

The EFF says that additional measures are needed to limit the government's access to data in private hands, and I agree about those points. However, that too fails to go far enough, because it does not limit the government's own direct collection of data about people (for instance, with license plate recognizers, surveillance cameras, and microphones in places such as buses and lampposts) or business collection of data about people. Once data is collected, it will be misused. We therefore must strictly limit the systematic collection of data about people.
