Summary
Senator Ron Wyden is warning that Section 702 (a law allowing U.S. intelligence agencies to conduct surveillance) is being abused in ways that are kept secret from the public and Congress. Wyden says there is a classified (not publicly known) privacy issue related to Section 702 that he has repeatedly asked the government to reveal, but administrations have refused, and he believes Congress cannot properly debate whether to renew this law without knowing the full truth.
