"A core group of lawmakers held strong; they know that people are hungry for real reform that protects the privacy of our communications."
"Under current practice, the FBI can query and even read the U.S. side of that communication without a warrant."
"Reforming Section 702 is even more urgent because of revelations hinted at by Senator Ron Wy."
A bipartisan group of lawmakers has secured a 10-day extension to advocate for reform of Section 702, which allows the NSA to collect and store communications. They rejected a proposed amendment that would have extended the program without meaningful changes. Current practices permit the FBI to access U.S. communications without a warrant, raising significant privacy concerns. Victims of surveillance often remain unaware of their communications being monitored. Reforming Section 702 is critical to address compliance issues and protect citizens' privacy rights.
