Under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the National Security Agency (NSA) is authorized to collect and analyze communications of non-U.S. persons located outside the United States for foreign intelligence purposes. Section 702 allows the NSA to compel U.S.-based service providers, such as AWS or Microsoft, to provide access to data without requiring a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) if certain criteria are met.
Key Aspects of Section 702:
* Scope of Surveillance:Section 702 applies to non-U.S. persons located outside the United States. It cannot be used to target U.S. citizens or individuals located within the United States, even if they communicate with non-U.S. persons.
* Provider Obligations:The NSA can compel U.S.-based service providers (e.g., AWS, Microsoft) to disclose information about communications involving foreign individuals if the data is relevant to foreign intelligence purposes.
Explanation of the Options:
* A. Compel AWS to disclose Jane's email communications with a Taiwanese national residing in Taiwan:Incorrect. Jane is a U.S. citizen, and Section 702 cannot be used to directly target U.S. persons or their communications, even if the other party in the communication is a non-U.S. person.
* B. Compel AWS to disclose email communications between two Chinese nationals residing in the EU:Correct. Section 702 allows the NSA to target non-U.S. persons located outside the U.S. without a warrant, even if their communications are hosted by a U.S.-based service provider like AWS. This scenario falls directly under the scope of Section 702.
* C. Compel Microsoft to disclose Patrick's Skype calls with a Brazilian national living in Peru:
Incorrect. Patrick is a U.S. resident, even though he is a French citizen. Section 702 cannot be used to target individuals who are lawfully residing in the United States.
* D. Compel Jane to disclose the PIN code for her corporate mobile phone:Incorrect. Section 702 applies to electronic communications data held by service providers, not to individuals. Compelling an individual to disclose a PIN code would require a different legal authority, such as a court-issued subpoena or warrant.
Legal Framework:
* Section 702 of FISA: Provides the NSA with the authority to compel U.S.-based service providers to assist in collecting data on non-U.S. persons located outside the U.S. for foreign intelligence purposes.
* Targeting Limitations: Section 702 cannot be used to intentionally target U.S. persons or anyone located within the United States.
* Service Providers: Examples include U.S.-based companies such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft, and Google.
Practical Considerations for Jones Labs:
Jones Labs should be aware that:
* Data stored with U.S.-based providers (even if located in the EU) may still be subject to Section 702 requests.
* International data transfer compliance may require careful consideration of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other safeguards to align with EU privacy regulations, such as the GDPR, in light of the extraterritorial nature of U.S. surveillance laws.

IAPP book, Section 3.3, first sentence. "The FTC was founded in 1914 to enforce antitrust laws, and its general consumer protection mission was established by a statutory change in 1938." In particular in considering this answer, note that the FTC Act was initially passed in 1914.
