A key US government surveillance program is set to expire. A look at what that means
A key US government surveillance program, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, is set to expire after congressional efforts to extend it failed. The program allows spy agencies to collect foreign communications without warrants and has been used to disrupt terrorism and cyberattacks, but faces privacy concerns due to incidental collection of Americans' data and past misuse by FBI analysts.
