EFF Case Against AT&T To Go Forward

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the beauty dept.

Tyler Too writes "The NSA wiretap lawsuit filed by the EFF will apparently be moving forward. A federal judge has denied the government's request that the EFF's lawsuit against AT&T be dismissed. Among other things, the judge ruled that 'if the government has been truthful in its disclosures, divulging information on AT&T's role in the scandal should not cause any harm to national security.' The case will now move forward, pending a government appeal."

    "if the government has been truthful in its disclosures, divulging information on AT&T's role in the scandal should not cause any harm to national security."

    Is that like "if you have nothing to hide, you won't object to surveillance"? Seriously, poor government!

    IANAL and didn't RTFA, but AFAICT the EFF stands for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
