"Section 702 allows the government to conduct surveillance of foreigners inside the United States. While Section 702 prohibits the NSA and FBI from intentionally targeting Americans, these agencies routinely acquire innocent Americans' communications “incidentally”. The government can then search Americans’ “incidentally collected” communications, all without a probable cause warrant.

The government has repeatedly abused Section 702 by searching its databases for Americans’ communications. In 2021 alone, the FBI reported conducting up to 3.4 million warrantless searches of Section 702 data using Americans’ identifiers.

This loophole, and many other things, need to change before Congress acts to renew Section 702."
