The White House recently released an objection to the legislation introduced by Senators Dick Durbin and Mike Lee that would reauthorize Section 702 with some reforms.

Section 702 allows the collection of a massive amount of Americans' communications, posing a serious threat to privacy.
The SAFE Act's reforms involve court approval for accessing stored communications and closing the 'data broker loophole.'
