Does Google accept that existing FISA 702 ("all facilities and assistance..in secret") can coerce backdoors in encryption software/services provided to non-Americans outside US territory, including any type of public Cloud ("Remote computing services")?

But it's not a misconception http://www.reddit.com/r/1881a/
Yes, lots of US data gets caught, but non-Americans have zero legal rights under FISA 702
Where does ACLU stand on recognizing universal human rights to privacy?
If Amash passes, what do you think NSA will do instead to establish "probable cause" that a 702 target is not a US person ?

Since 2008 (?) Google's Privacy Policy has said some variant of (https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/465?hl=en) "What happens to your searches and browsing activity when it's deleted? When you delete items from your Web & App Activity, they are no longer associated with your Google Account. However, Google may store activity separately to prevent spam and abuse and to improve our services."
So in other words, when someone deletes stuff from their search history, they are fooling themselves? Google still keeps a copy somewhere? How long? Is it *technically" possible to re-link to a user? Has Google ever re-linked in response to a LEA request? Has Google explained all this to EU regulators?

What do you think about US laws that don't just affect non-US people, but are targeted at them. It seems many US civil libertarians are vigilant about protecting the 4th Amendment, but sublimely untroubled by US spying on rest-of-world's ordinary lawful democratic political activities? http://www.reddit.com/r/1881a/

Why haven't you made any claim that non-Americans have privacy rights? Do you think Verdugo-Urquidez is incontestable, and a binding precedent for the rest of the world's privacy rights on the Internet? If you win, and establish stronger but unequal rights only for Americans, that will further damage international human rights law based on equality without regard to national origin.
