EFF has filed papers in a court case that claim that AT&T illegally turns over taps of internet communications to the NSA.
This has been reported in several places but I thought I would bring it up here. Excerpt from the press release: "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." http://www.eff.org/news/archives/2006_04.php#004538 -- Perry E.
