The quote clearly condemns the government 'feeding [Americans’ location data] into AI systems to conduct unprecedented mass surveillance' and says failing to stop it would be 'shocking negligence.' That implies support for banning government use of AI for mass surveillance of citizens.

The quote calls it "shocking negligence" to do nothing to stop the government from feeding Americans' data into AI systems for "unprecedented mass surveillance," which clearly supports banning that use.

The quote is present verbatim in the Daily Caller article at the provided URL, dated April 15, 2026, and the article explicitly attributes it to Ron Wyden ("Wyden said"). An AOL syndication snippet reproduces the same sentence, and Wyden’s official April 15, 2026 press release uses closely matching language about feeding purchased location data into AI systems for unprecedented mass surveillance, which supports the attribution.

Quote attributed to Sen. Ron Wyden (2026). The Daily Caller source_url returned HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but web search corroborated the article exists at that URL ("'Unprecedented Mass Surveillance': Bipartisan Senators Warn Of Privacy Threat Tied To FISA Renewal," 2026-04-15) and confirmed the quote verbatim: Wyden said "Passing FISA 702 without strong new guardrails, while doing nothing to stop the government from buying Americans' location data and feeding it into AI systems to conduct unprecedented mass surveillance, would be shocking negligence." This matches his documented Senate statements/press releases. Year (2026) current and correct. Author attribution confirmed. Vote alignment correct: Wyden opposes feeding data into AI for mass surveillance, supporting the statement "Ban the use of AI for mass surveillance" — matching the "for" vote.
