As promised, Ron Wyden (along with Rand Paul) has delivered an antidote to the Senate Intelligence Committee‘s completely terrible Section 702 „reform“ bill. That bill, authored by Sen. Burr, would extend the NSA‘s 702 powers until 2025 while allowing US law enforcement to use collected intelligence for normal law enforcement purposes. It also would have turned the NSA‘s „about“ collection back on, provided no one opposed it with directly-targeted legislation. This program‘s ability to „inadvertently“ sweep up US persons‘ communications was so concerning the NSA voluntarily shut it off. (It asked to have it turned back on less than two months later, however.)
