i2Coalition Statement on USA Freedom Act failing to proceed for debate on the Senate floor

Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coaliton) Co-Founder and Board Chair Christian Dawson released the following statement on the USA Freedom Act failing to proceed for debate on the Senate floor:

“After spending more than five hours debating on the Keystone XL Pipeline, the U.S. Senate spent less than 20 minutes debating the USA Freedom Act, an issue of incredible importance to our privacy and national security. i2Coalition is committed to continuing the fight for surveillance reform. U.S. Internet infrastructure companies are world leaders in innovation, and the NSA’s surveillance programs have shaken confidence in them. i2Coalition looks forward to working to ensure that these infrastructure providers that make up the nuts and bolts of the Internet have the level playing field they deserve to thrive.”
