Explanation / Answer
Answer 1)
Answer)
The USA Freedom Act isn't such a great advancement if you say in terms of privacy for the common citizen of the country. There are some new limits on cell phone metadata collection by NSA and other intelligence agencies but although that the private communications of law-abiding American citizens might be intercepted incidentally.
So citizens will not incidentally be enjoying more privacy or freedom than before but maybe NSA or other intelligence agencies will will limit themselves to cell phone metadata collection and use other tools to collect data and analyze threats. Thus the passage means that the NSA will cease reliance on cell phone metadata and increase its reliance upon other tools in its tool box that concentrate on the internet.
