As controversial as the Patriot Act is in which many of the spying programs were illegal and that had to stop, it was a great victory for the freedom and especially for the fact that the Americans are able to get more secure than ever after the Patriot Act expired today. Even the watered down version of the USA Freedom Act wasn't successful and that version isn't what we want. Freedom seekers surely want the proper and real USA Freedom Act that protects the privacy of the Americans as a basic human right.
Those illegal cyber-spying programs had surely gone too far and freedom seeking and proper privacy are the true reasons on why are many people wanting that kind of bullshit to stop. It was a major concern for foreign leaders, foreign nations and tech companies ever since the global knowledge about all of this two years ago. The tech companies were concerned about their customers' privacy being compromised because of that and before things like the Patriot Act expired or something, there was already a strong encryption level for various services and new devices that was designed to protect the privacy from those illegal spying programs. However, that security level is way too strong as if things are not going fair in the opposite way like it can help the baddies sneak through their missions un-noticed. This is not what the tech companies want and the Digital Crime Unit by Microsoft is one of the reasons to trace down the criminals and their command centers they call the various rooms containing those computing machines. Those rooms may be from the criminals' home or some other place.
However, the victory doesn't last a long time as according to EFF, the system is likely to be back in place as early as sometime tomorrow. Hell, even the telephone metadata collection by Verizon was made illegal as well as if this was one of the surprises to those who are against that ISP.
