Any speculation on what this could be?
> The Biden administration also declined to declassify details about a new “sensitive technique” of surveillance performed under Section 702 that required the court to weigh its legality, keeping Americans in the dark about a method of spying even as it lobbies lawmakers to renew the expiring portions of the law.
Sometimes there are hints or past reporting. Eg before Snowden there had been other reporting around Telco complicity at switching stations.
Maybe something with satellite connectivity surveillance? (Lol, it would be rich if they said it was covered by FISA because it went from USA to "space" and back in to US)
(Edit for typos)

- schuyler2d 3y agoThat would have been years if not over a decade ago. This would be something more recent
