Won't change much for us non-US nationals...
- halJordan 4y agoSection 702 is not about Americans. It's only about foreign nationals (with an FI value). So the opposite is true: it will affect non-US nationals and it will not affect US nationals.
- int_19h 4y agoNSA still refuses to answer the question of how many American citizens were "incidentally" surveilled under Section 702. If that number was zero, I don't think stating that would be quite so difficult.
- tptacek 4y agoNo, it won't. It also won't change anything for US nationals who deliberately move their communications to platforms "hosted in Switzerland", which has always been a funny privacy move, because the US IC has blanket de jure authority to surveil foreign services; it's only the US providers that have these procedural protections. The statute we're talking about here, 702, is what enables the IC to compel American communications providers to cough up data (about ostensibly foreign targets).
- kevin_thibedeau 4y ago> it's only the US providers that have these procedural protections. Even that is no guarantee as your packets can be routed into Canada and back if they need to be made foreign.
- tptacek 4y ago702 generally targets stored communications.
