What it was was the NSA going through every transmission in the net and the phone lines looking for buzzwords without any oversight.

What it is now, is the requirement of warrants to act on suspects.

Uh - that’s been going on since at least the Kennedy Administration. They started with telegrams, and gradually expanded to other media as technology improved.

And warrants are, to this day, not a requirement for such examination.
