- Discussions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38679220
- Summary: The FBI has reportedly conducted over 280,000 warrantless searches using Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 powers on Americans and those in the US between 2020 and 2021. These searches include queries on Capitol rioters, political campaign donors, and protesters after George Floyd's death. Senator Ron Wyden described the abuses as "shocking," and the Center for Democracy and Technology called for a "full overhaul" before Section 702's expiration. The FBI implemented new training and technology to reduce searches on US persons. However, the FISA Court expressed concerns about the FBI's compliance issues.
