Victory? Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Has Expired

5d 2h ago by lemmy.today/u/sanitation in privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com from www.eff.org

It's expired.

But, as my arts teacher used to say, things are only illegal if someone files charges against you. Until someone actually does, S702 is as well as unexpired.

They're allowed to spy for ~9 more months.

So the headline is fake news?

No

So S702 has expired.

If that's the name of the law then yes. I'm not sure about the details but there's some kind of warrant that's extended though march 2027.

we should let the whole thing expire. And this time, it has, at least for a little while. 

At some point they'll set aside their differences and get back to what matters: infringing on the rights of American citizens.
