EFF Documentation Victory in Telco Spying Case

Posted by Zonk on from the keeping-things-on-the-up-and-up dept.

Krishna Dagli sent on a link to Ars Technica's coverage of an EFF victory in a court case related to the NSA/Telco spying scandal. "Judge Vaughn Walker ruled today that AT&T, Verizon, Cingular (now part of AT&T), Sprint, and BellSouth (also part of AT&T now) must all maintain any data or papers related to the NSA spying case that Walker is overseeing in California. The EFF had requested the ruling out of concern that documents would be destroyed as part of routine data deletion practices before the case could even progress to discovery."

    I hope the rest of you have called your Congressmen.

    I called their offices several times, but every time I started talking about this immunity stuff, they kept hanging up on me, the bastards!

    ...they will go on to lose the case itself. Too bad.

    If this 'terrorist threat' was as serious as the government and their military cheerleaders say it is, why isn't there conscription?

    I'll have to check, but I don't think we have that until after we're researched Barracks and Monarchy.
