You don't understand correctly. That's not even remotely what the article said.

No, not quite:

"It can only be for foreign intelligence, or other enumerated purposes. So it’s not that those agencies will just be able to see whatever they want – it’s that they will be able to request, with particular justifications, access to more raw signals intelligence than they had before."

The UK also.

The difference in the UK is that just about every government agency you can think of, including the 'Food Standards Agency'(!!), can look into your browsing history without having to apply to anyone. Presumably the Food Standards people have a role in preventing terrorism that is not clear to the rest of us.
