Does anyone know how section 702 of FISA fits into this? I was under the impression that s.702 allows secret, warrantless access to data stored in European subsidiaries of US corporations even if the data is domiciled in the EU.
The linked article talks about limiting international data transfers, but that wouldn't fully address the s.702 issue, would it? Do they also have to ensure that the data is subject to the new DPF framework negotiated with the US (replacement for Privacy Shield)?
- esbranson 3y agoCorrect, US law allows US spy agencies to spy, in secret as it were. The US has a thing called the United States Code with most relevant laws in order, this section you refer being 50 U.S.C. 1881a, under title 50 with the apt heading "War and National Defense". I think it's doubtful that Europeans know their own laws, but if we could, it's probably reciprocal in most if not all EU countries. As if foreign spying were conducted in public, or was somehow not authorized by the country doing the spying.
