If anyone is interested, I am producing a chapter soon concerning ways to get the government to remove incidental collection if it's not part of an active investigation.

Our relationship with the NSA and federal mass surveillance is an involuntary one. Unfortunately, it's protection that has proven more risk liability to the people it is commissioned to protect. So much so you could even say other western countries are not protecting themselves from US spying so much as foreign rival governments who use NSA exploits. For the West, that's Russia, China, N. Korea and Iran.

Again, wonderful information. Sad that FISA was not fixed but I guess it's to be expected. Even more reason to use those VPN's ^.^

It's a sad fact of life that once our government gets a new superpower like Section 702, it's not going to give it up without a massive fight. It makes me sad that the main reason that I use a VPN is not because I don't want shady criminals reading my traffic, and it's not because I want to get around georestrictions, it's because I don't trust my own effing government (or my ISP...I'm looking at you, Comcast)).
