The US House of Representatives voted to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for six years. The provision allows the NSA to monitor the communications of foreigners located outside the country to gather what was the agencys original mission: foreign intelligence. But, as has been widely reported since the law was created in 2008, that collection has been both foreign and domestic. The communications of millions of Americans who were not specific targets have been incidentally included. And much of that data has been made available to other intelligence agencies like the FBI and CIA.”]
