NSA, AT&T and EFF: Dismissal of a lawsuit
Even though I did expect something alike, now it has become true.
As you can read in a /. article [0], the U.S. government has "‘filed a motion on Saturday to intervene and seek dismissal of a lawsuit [1] by a civil liberties group against AT&T Inc. over a federal program to monitor U.S. communications."
Now that’s scary. It pretty much seems like the U.S. are finally turning into a police state dismissing legal actions taken by groups that are aware of the constant loss of freedom and are trying to change that.
As I’m shocked I can hardly comment on that topic really, but I do have a strong feeling to inform others about it. So please go and read about it yourself.
