          Story. In a nod to shifting politics, Biden admin is launching 702 surveillance earlier than Obama & Trump did for the 2012 & 2018 extensions, & rather than focusing on counterterrorism, it's emphasizing a broader spectrum of foreign intelligence purposes. nytimes.com/2023/02/28/us/politics/biden-warrantless-surveillance-section-702.html
