NSA collected records of 151m Americans – but wait, didn’t bulk collection stop three years ago?

From Sophos Naked Security:

NSA collected records of 151m Americans – but wait, didn’t bulk collection stop three years ago?

"You remember the NSA’s bulk phone data collection program, right?

As in, the one that Congress cut the funding for in 2014? The one that wasn’t authorized by Section 215 of the Patriot Act after all, as a court unanimously ruled in 2015? … but which got extended anyway?

Boy, did it get extended, and how. It’s still chugging along just fine."
