So if I communicate with a non-US citizen, I effectively forfeit my right to privacy? Am I understand this correctly?
Forfeiting sounds intentional. How would you know the nationality of all participants in a conversation?

#32What's most interesting is that this wasn't on party lines. The yes/no mix is very mixed party-wise.

I'm really disappointed that even in CA (which is pushing for better privacy rights with CCPA), one of our senators voted for this.

#38Does anyone want to suggest some reasons why, the one thing that D+R always, always, always agree on is this: US Gov/LEO/IC must be gifted the most power possible to surveil Americans who are not suspected of a crime
Because politicians want power and control over the citizens. They might use it for different things, but power is power.

See what happens when a politician of any stature dares to defy them.
