Reminder: FAA702 is used for warrantless spying. No probable cause is required.
Apple, Meta, Google, Microsoft, and others have tools available for FBI/DHS to access data in/on their servers in realtime in response to Section 702 orders from the state.
The federal police can read anything in your gmail, your google docs, your complete iMessage history, your complete iCloud photo library, etc, without a warrant, at any time, 24/7/365. No probable cause or reasonable suspicion is needed. They just get to download it.
- m00x 3y agoWell that sounds like overreach.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoOh, well, but see, they “stop terrorism”. And if supply is low, they make some.
- imjonse 3y agoyour comment may have triggered a sentiment analysis model causing your accounts here and elsewhere to be flagged just in case they need to be 702ed in the future :)

- sneak 3y agoThe article addresses that.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoIt does not. This article is about data collected from specific foreigners outside the US who were under surveillance. The FBI searched that data for any mentions of a US senator.
- mardifoufs 3y agoAh well they suspected it so it's fine :). And yeah sure, they drone striked American citizens without any judicial process but spying on them would never, ever! Happen. That's just too far.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoThe Constitution doesn't require judicial process. It requires due process. Warmaking and national defense powers lie with the executive and legislative branches, and there is precedent that the courts should not interfere with the military chain of command. The executive informed the congressional oversight committees more than a year before the assassination. Spying on Americans without a court order is illegal. The US government can still spy on Americans with a warrant.
- PhilipRoman 3y ago...or ask a closely allied country to spy on their behalf.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoThat is also illegal without a warrant, and there is no evidence that the US has done this, despite many leaks and oversight reports.
- anonymousiam 3y agoAlso, they were doing it log before it was codified in law.
