The Senate has voted to reauthorize the USA Freedom Act, bringing the surveillance bill closer to becoming law. The USA Freedom Reauthorization Act restores government powers that expired in March with Section 215 of the Patriot Act. While the Senate adopted an amendment to expand oversight, it shot down a proposal that would have restricted warrantless collection of internet search and web browsing data.

Conversely, Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Steve Daines (R-MT) failed by one vote to pass a rule prohibiting warrantless surveillance of internet search and browsing records. Wyden ultimately voted against the reauthorization.
The legislation hands the government power for warrantless collection of Americans web browsing and internet searches, as well as other private information, without having to demonstrate that those Americans have done anything wrong, he said in a statement. Without further reform of these vague and dangerous Patriot Act authorities, Congress is inviting more secret interpretations of the law and more abuses.

Anyone they now label "Antifa" is subject to search of browsing records & this is a stasi move by Barr, Trump & those who failed to protect with greater foresight.
This is a vulnerable spot for all of us to be in.
