Senator Ron Wyden placed a hold on the 2017 Intelligence Authorization bill over the controversial provisions. Tech companies and industry and civil rights groups are opposed to what is seen as a wider push by the Senate to increase the scope of the NSLs.

The FBI is currently allowed to collect phone records and financial records without the approval of a judge.”]
