Changes to the FISA expires in December 2017 - but for many groups in the coalition behind a new website, it is not too early to start thinking about what will happen next. An effort led by the struggle for the future calls for the end of the article 702 Changes of FISA, which is the section that allows mass surveillance programs in the United States. This change allowed the PRISM and UPSTREAM programs the government uses to spy on electronic communications that take place on major platforms (eg Google, Yahoo). This monitoring occurs without a warrant, and applies to both US citizens and others around the world.
The site calls for an end to 702 next year as scheduled by its expiration date, or for the government to adopt significant reforms this law if it is not obsolete. The groups aim to end any extension of the law that can be put into action, that this bill was to uncontrolled surveillance. You can learn more in the EFF briefing.
