Sen Wyden's New Surveillance Reform Act Reins in the Worst Abuses of Section 702

This is a big deal. If you care about your privacy, its not enough to use good op-sec. You need to address the source of the problem: the governent is abusing its power, and it needs to stop doing that

This bill is an attempt to fix that. This bill is probably the best hope we currently have of enacting substantive reforms to Section 702, EO 12333, the data broker loophole, and a bevy of other surveillance issues. It even has a section on Cell Site simulators!
