Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act permits warrantless surveillance of Americans鈥� international communications, and the government has used that authority to seize and search the personal communications of Americans and others on an immense scale. In September 2016, the 桃子视频submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to several government agencies seeking basic information about how the government conducts surveillance under Section 702.
