According to a Washington Post poll, 64% of cybersecurity experts support renewing Section 702 of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act "with changes." Those in support of changing the legislation advocated for provisions such as requiring a warrant when data of U.S. citizens is queried, codifying FBI changes made to its surveillance practices to better uphold citizens’ civil liberties and the EU's reluctance to approve the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework without stronger privacy protections for its citizens from U.S. surveillance. Twenty percent of cybersecurity experts favored renewing Section 702 "with no changes" and 16% of respondents were against reauthorization.
