.

Justices will hear cases on the constitutionality of de-platforming laws aimed at making tech companies legally liable for removing certain political content.

Congress is also expected to adopt legislation to clarify liability for generative AI models in regard to copyright and defamation complaints.

According to Gizmodo, there's also a chance that Congress could change the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

FISA is one of the government's most powerful tools for conducting warrantless surveillance.

Critics claim that section 702 of FISA creates a legally dubious loophole which the federal government uses to surveil Americans.

Other major issues that could require federal legislation include the Transportation Security Administration's rollout of facial recognition for domestic air travel.
