EFF Files Motion to Stop Surveillance of American Internet
Think that only people in faraway places are being watched by their government when they blog, podcast or just surf and read email? Think again. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has filed legal briefs and evidence in an effort to put a stop to AT&T routinely giving the US government direct access to Americans' Internet communications. "The evidence that we are filing supports our claim that AT&T is diverting Internet traffic into the hands of the NSA wholesale, in violation of federal wiretapping laws and the Fourth Amendment," said EFF Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. "More than just threatening individuals' privacy, AT&T's apparent choice to give the government secret, direct access to millions of ordinary Americans' Internet communications is a threat to the Constitution itself. We are asking the Court to put a stop to it now."
