Whistleblower Edward Snowden urged President Joe Biden to veto the renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) after the Senate approved the re-authorization. Snowden criticized the House and Senate for passing what he deemed unconstitutional, warrantless searches of Americans' communications.
Section 702, a tool for gathering intelligence on foreign subjects with the help of electronic communication service providers, received a 60-34 vote in the Senate. The measure now awaits Biden's signature.
