developing KQED FM Washington D.C. 15d13d Impact 8
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a government surveillance tool, is scheduled to expire in a few days. Lawmakers are currently debating its renewal. The law allows the government to monitor foreigners living abroad without a warrant, including instances where they communicate with Americans. A bipartisan group of Republican and Democratic lawmakers is seeking changes to the legislation before reauthorization. Elizabeth Goitine from the Brennan Center for Justice discussed the matter on Marketplace Tech. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 243 points during the reported period.
