EFF to Court: Don‘t Let Government Hide Illegal Surveillance

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) urged the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today to preserve lawsuits challenging the government‘s illegal mass surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans. In oral arguments today, EFF asked the court to block the government‘s attempt to bury the suits with claims of state secrecy and an unconstitutional „immunity“ law for telecoms that participated in the spying.
