💨 Abstract

The FBI's use of a surveillance program known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has decreased significantly, with U.S. person queries dropping from 57,094 in 2023 to 5,518 in 2024. This decrease is attributed to tighter rules requiring justification for database queries about Americans. Concerns remain about improper queries and the potential violation of privacy.
