Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
Details
FISA AMENDMENTS ACT
The FISA Amendments Act law broadened the authority for the USG to collect electronic communications inside the US for "foreign intelligence" and "anti-terrorism" purposes without requiring a warrant.
Under the FISA Amendments Act, which amended the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the USG must satisfy a special court that its procedures will target foreigners located overseas and ensure the privacy of U.S. citizens whose communications are incidentally collected.
Targeting the communications of a U.S. citizen or anyone inside the US requires a warrant. The emails and other data are sent by Internet and telecommunications companies to the FBI and NSA based on specific targets.
The law also immunized companies that cooperated voluntarily with a secret NSA program to collect communications without a warrant in the aftermath of the September 2001 terrorist attacks.
