The US Congress will this week decide the fate of Section 702, a major surveillance program that will soon expire if lawmakers do not act. WIRED is tracking the major developments as they unfold.

    At this rate it seems like it’s time to just start looking for congress people’s data that their providers sell online and posting it somewhere like twitter. Because this will only be a problem they take seriously when it detrimentally affects them.
