There is a flurry of activity on the Hill as the December 31 deadline for renewing FISA Section 702 approaches. FISA Section 702 provides procedures under which the government may target non-U.S. persons located outside the U.S. without a warrant based on probable cause. Under these procedures, the government is authorized to direct an “electronic communication service provider” (ECSP) to provide the assistance necessary to accomplish the acquisition.[1] Congress is considering the specifics of several bills to make changes to Section 702 and will make judgments about what process is appropriate for the issuance of legal process and for whether the government will need to obtain a search warrant based on probable cause to query the data collected under FISA Section 702.
