It's really hard to tell (this is very confusing: https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/13/politics/senate-vote-fisa-aut...) but it looks like the amendment by a pro-privacy senator (Wyden, D-OR) failed, not the overall authorization of the Patriot Act, so the concern on behalf of privacy is still valid
Thanks, that is a good succint summary of what has happened.
The USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act is the bill that would renew the Patriot Act and (anti-privacy) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell added an amendment that would allow warrantless access to internet history. (pro-privacy) Senator Wyden tried to add another amendment requiring a warrant but that was defeated a few hours ago by 1 vote.
