RESTRICT Act VPN and internet freedom concerns
410 days silent
Expected position: As Senate Intelligence Chair and author of the RESTRICT Act, Warner would be expected to address concerns that the legislation's broad language could enable restrictions on VPNs and other internet tools
Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: During the window, Warner actively pushed TikTok ban legislation and gave interviews defending RESTRICT Act as targeting companies like Kaspersky, Huawei and TikTok. Public criticism emerged from civil liberties groups warning the act could enable mass censorship and VPN restrictions. Warner's public statements focused on national security justifications without addressing the internet freedom concerns raised by the bill's critics

FBI warrant requirement for FISA queries on Americans
110 days silent
Expected position: As Senate Intelligence Chair who pushed for FISA Section 702 reauthorization, Warner would be expected to address whether FBI should need warrants before searching surveillance data for Americans' communications
Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: During the FISA reauthorization debate, Warner actively lobbied for passage of H.R. 7888 and gave floor speeches urging colleagues to vote yes. He was notably quiet on the controversial question of whether the bill adequately required warrants for FBI queries on Americans - an issue that caused divisions between civil liberties advocates and intelligence community. The final bill included modified but not full warrant requirements
