This article gives a great intro into why finally, 10 years after snowden, we may see some real mass surveillance reform, which is exciting. There is also some interesting reporting on some of the recent abuses uncovered in this report:<p><a href="https://www.intelligence.gov/assets/documents/702%20Documents/declassified/24th-Joint-Assessment-of-FISA-702-Compliance.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.intelligence.gov/assets/documents/702%20Document...</a><p>> A report on the audit, only recently declassified, found that in the first half of 2020, FBI personnel unlawfully searched raw FISA data on numerous occasions. In one incident, agents reportedly sought evidence of foreign influence linked to a US lawmaker. In another, an inappropriate search pertained to a local political party. In both cases, these “errors” attributed to a “misunderstanding” of the law, the report says.
