#4We can safely assume they are already doing anything they want, it's just that laws are coming slowly to normalize survelance so they can't tell us just yet. Vote for those laws to learn more.

Yep. It’s atrocious and deeply worrying behavior by a state that seems to have forgotten that their rights are a blessing from their citizens and not the other way around.

#6I’ve been reading about negligence around controls of this process for over 15 years.
If folks don’t know already they should realize that section 702 was only passed after it became public that this surveillance was already happening with questionable legal authority.

#7I can’t believe the reveal that FBI used section 702 to target January 6 participants wasn’t enough to get at least one faction in the House to vote against reauthorizing the bill last week. (I will play any card I can if it gets warrantless spying stopped.)
I guess Big Brother trumps petty partisanship concerns.
NYT had an article a few months ago (I submitted it here) attacking Republicans for turning against the FBI and saying this would put an end to sedition 702. Guess that was them panicking over nothing.

Or the citizens have forgotten or don’t care to hold their leaders accountable
