CDT urges Attorney General to declassify FISC case service provider

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

On May 9, the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) allied with other prominent civil society groups to send a letter urging the declassification of the service provider implicated in a recent Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) case.

The letter stated: "The undersigned organizations write to urge you to exercise your discretion to declassify, or otherwise make public, information revealing the type of service provider at issue in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) case that gave rise to the new definition of 'electronic communications service provider' (ECSP) in the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA). Without such a public disclosure, the ECSP definition is likely to remain dangerously overbroad, significantly increasing the chance of surveillance abuses."

The full text of the letter can be found here.
