President Biden has signed legislation to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act despite years of protest from rights groups and privacy experts who say the law is routinely used to conduct warrantless surveillance on millions of American citizens. The Senate approved the FISA bill on Friday in a 60-34 vote, and critics say it not only reauthorizes domestic spying but also dramatically expands its scope. "It's an enormous amount of data that they're collecting and very few rules" limiting its collection, says investigative journalist James Bamford. He warns that personal information collected by U.S. intelligence is also shared with Israel, which uses the data to target people in Gaza. "The U.S. has got to stop supplying all this data and the targeting materials," he says. Bamford's new article for The Nation is headlined "The NSA Wants Carte Blanche for Warrantless Surveillance."
