The bill in question reforms and extends a part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) known as Section 702.
Currently, the NSA can force internet service providers such as Google and Verizon to hand over sensitive data concerning NSA targets.
However, Goitein claims that through an “innocuous change” to the definition of “electronic communications surveillance provider” in the FISA 702 bill, the U.S. government could go far beyond its current scope and force nearly every company and individual that provides any internet-related service to assist with NSA surveillance.

We have rapid DNA testing this time too. And a deep understanding of how to systematize any activity to brutal efficiency.

Pffft, that's nothing, Ausfalia passed a bill last year that allows the government to catfish you, impersonate your presence online, coop your emails and make up lies to falsely imprison you without rhyme or reason. All passed behind closed doors in a rush 24hrs with unanimous support from almost every member of parliament.
