Tech Company Coalition Supports Global Surveillance Principles, Reform Efforts

Out of curiosity, not being a US citizen, can I ask what was wrong with:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized

Seems like a pretty good basis for a framework for surveillance. Is there something about the 21st century that renders the 4th amendment unusable in framing legislation?

This is all fine and dandy, but what really needs to happen is for these Tech Giants to come together and not ask the government for a reform, but to tell the government that a reform needs to take place. What, does the President not think that people don't like surveyed illegally, or even know what he's doing is illegal? Obama isn't sorry for what the NSA is doing, he's sorry what they are doing got out.
