Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has repeatedly been condemned, with critics highlighting how its broad provisions allow warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals. | A bipartisan group of US lawmakers introduced a bill to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on Tuesday, touting new provisions they claim address longstanding concerns. 💬 “Americans understand that it's possible to confront our countries' adversaries ferociously without throwing our constitutional rights into the garbage can,” said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), one of the bill’s co-sponsors, at a news conference. “Our Founding Fathers made it clear that if government agencies want to read an American's private communications, they should get a warrant.” Section 702 was a provision of the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act first enacted in 2008 to ostensibly enhance counter-terrorism operations. The legislation codified the collection of electronic data from around the globe by US intelligence agencies.
