Welp, here's some nightmare fuel. FISA 702 expansion is even worse than I thought.
"Legal experts—including a rare few attorneys who’ve argued cases before the FISA court in the past—say the new ECSP text ensnares owners of facilities housing equipment used to store and carry data, as well as commercial landlords and virtually anyone with access to communications equipment in those spaces." https://www.wired.com/story/section-702-reauthorization-expansion/
"On Saturday, US president Joe Biden signed a controversial bill extending the life of a warrantless US surveillance program for two years, bringing an end to a months-long fight in Congress over an authority that US intelligence agencies acknowledge has been widely abused in the past."
For shame. This kind of shitfuckery makes it much easier for the Orange Menace to convince people the Democrats are in bed with the surveillance state.
"Liza Goitein, a FISA expert and senior director at the Brennan Center of Justice at New York University School of Law, says the bill signed by Biden on Saturday represents 'a gift to any president who may wish to spy on political enemies'."
