CONGRESSMAN LIEU NAMED AN INTERNET FREEDOM CHAMPION OF 2015

In a list of only 17 global leaders, The DailyDot.Com lauds Congressman Lieu for his efforts to protect Americans' privacy
and constitutional rights during his first year in Congress.

"I believe in the Constitution of the United States, and the Fourth Amendment is pretty clear," Lieu said.
"It basically says that government shall not engage in unreasonable searches and seizures unless the government has a specific warrant for you."

"Congressman Lieu, ‘one of four members of Congress with a degree in computer science, knows what cryptographers have said since the beginning: 'It is simply not possible to design an encryption system for only the so-called good guys to have a backdoor access key.'"

"Lieu has stressed this more than any sitting member of the House, and made headlines when he furiously told [FBI Director] Comey during a hearing to ‘just follow the damn Constitution.' Because for him, it's not just a technical issue—it's a moral one."
