The Verizon data is not really an issue anymore. That was the tip of the iceberg. The fact that the NSA have backdoor access (allegedly) to a number of computer systems run by Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. is the illegal bit. Those companies have denied such access; but they are required not to disclose access by law.
It's also the fact that a government like the one running the US is supposed to be bound by a constitution. They can't just enact laws that say "we can do this now; it's legal". That's why you'll find plenty of these articles online: NSA surveillance may be legal — but it’s unconstitutional.
