Section 702 isn't a mass surveillance program. It has its problems (the main sticking point being that the surveilled non-Americans living outside the US communicating with other non-Americans outside the US might discuss Americans or forward communications from Americans, and now Americans' data is collected), but let's at least accurately describe the law being discussed.

Good thing the government doesn't have a history of overreaching with powers that we give them to abuse the rights of non-Americans.
