Washington — This week the Republican-controlled House moved to extend and reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a program used to collect foreign intelligence; Congress had approved a short-term extension ahead of an April deadline, and House leaders scheduled procedural votes Tuesday and Wednesday to advance the measure toward a final vote. Speaker Mike Johnson led efforts to add oversight provisions while stopping short of a warrant requirement critics demanded; the House advanced the bill and one report records a 235-191 vote, but Senate review and the president's signature or another short-term extension remain necessary before the law can be enacted.

第 702 条允许政府收集外国情报。如果重新授权,这可能会影响您的隐私权。请关注事态发展,并考虑联系您当地的代表表达您的意见。
众议院已提议延长第702条,但尚未最终确定。它仍需要参议院的批准和总统的签署。请保持关注,并将此信息分享给重视隐私权的人。
直接受益者包括美国情报机构、推动该法案的共和党众议院领导层,以及寻求根据第702条保留外国情报收集的议员。
如果未经搜查令要求重新授权,公民自由组织、隐私倡导者以及被外国监控的目标个人可能会面临保护减弱的风险。
