Quick Glance: House Decision on Extending and Expanding US Spy Program
- The US House of Representatives made a decision on Friday regarding the continuation of the Section 702 spy program. This decision was made without a modification that would have required the FBI to obtain a warrant to access information of Americans.
- An ongoing controversial US wiretap program has reached a significant milestone towards its reauthorization.
- Following numerous delays, setbacks, and involvement by legislators striving to maintain and enhance the spying powers of the US intelligence agencies, the House of Representatives voted on Friday to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for an additional two years.
- Furthermore, the House bill includes a substantial broadening of the statutory definition for communication service providers, a move that FISA experts, such as Marc Zwillinger - among the few advisors to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) - have vocally cautioned against.
