The battle over surveillance law continues in the United States
Against the background of the impending expiration of the controversial section 702 of the "Act on Secret Surveillance for Foreign Intelligence Purposes" (FISA) and the debate about its extension, more and more details are emerging about what it was used for.
Human rights activists from the Brennan Center for Justice reported that the FBI obtained access to the correspondence of BLM protesters, government officials, journalists, political activists, as well as 19,000 sponsors of one of the election campaigns without a warrant.
This law expires on April 20th. Notably, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) Last month, he approved a secret provision, according to which section 702 will continue to apply throughout the year.
However, there is another catch here. CNN reported that some telecom operators had warned the Trump administration to stop collecting data on April 20th. Companies are afraid that they will face legal problems if they continue to collect information after the expiration of the law.
Thus, Donald Trump is once again facing serious difficulties, as his attempt to quietly maintain a convenient surveillance tool is met not only by Congressional resistance, but also by unexpected sabotage from frightened corporations.
