  I believe it was the far-reaching section 215, which allowed bulk collection of phone records and other data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_summary_of_the_Patriot_Act,_Title_II#Section_215:_Access_to_records_and_other_items_under_FISA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_summary_of_the_Patriot...

    Maybe the growing obsolescence of the legacy telephone network is why those provisions lapsed, and now we are seeing the fight for a replacement.

      Nope they lapsed bec trump was upset that they were illegally used against him and he didn’t want anyone else to suffer the same fate.

  Section 215 is the major one. Allows government to obtain secret warrants for surveillance via a secret court system(FISC, FISA). Lindsey Graham(R) tried to extend this- but Trump has been somewhat vocally against this extension due to his own allegations that the FISA courts were misused to spy on him.
