EFF and Government Face Off Over 'State Secrets' in San Francisco
Courtroom
Friday Hearing Over Motions to Dismiss AT&T Surveillance Case
San Francisco - On Friday, June 23, at 9:30 a.m., a federal judge in San
Francisco will hear oral arguments on the U.S. government's motion to
dismiss the Electronic Frontier Foundation's (EFF's) class-action
lawsuit against AT&T.
EFF's suit accuses the telecom giant of collaborating with the National
Security Agency (NSA) in illegal spying on millions of ordinary
Americans. The government contends that even if the NSA program is
illegal, the lawsuit should not go forward because it might expose state
secrets.
The judge will also consider AT&T's motions to dismiss the case in
Friday's hearing. Additionally, he will hear requests from media
organizations to intervene and unseal critical evidence filed in the
lawsuit.
