U.S. lawmakers are divided over reforms to Section 702, a surveillance law set to expire on April 30, 2026, amid concerns over warrantless surveillance of Americans. The law, linked to years of surveillance scandals and abuses across multiple administrations, does not automatically terminate the government's spy powers if it lapses. Some legislators are pushing for reforms following these controversies, but the article does not specify proposed changes or outcomes. The debate centers on balancing national security with privacy protections, particularly regarding data collection without warrants.
