"Section 702 has been proven to be abused by the FBI with many American-to-American communications being run through the program. This is technically illegal for the FBI to do, but no genuine enforcement action has been taken.
Because of the rampant abuse, some want to reform the program. In an attempt to stop genuine reform, other congressional leaders have pushed forward a competing bill that’s labeled “reform”, but actually greatly expands to program’s powers to include a vague definition of anyone operating electronics equipment. According to Elizabeth Goitein, the Co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, “Hotels, libraries, coffee shops, and other places that offer wifi to their customers could be forced to serve as surrogate spies. They could be required to configure their systems to ensure that they can provide the government access to entire streams of communications” "
Of course. The corrupt assholes in charge must try to takeaway more of our 4th amendment rights.
Becausr simply repealing this crap piece of unconstitution law is too much to ask.
