EFF's Spying Case Moves Forward - Judge Denies Government's Motion to
Dismiss AT&T Case
A federal judge today denied the government's motion to dismiss the
Electronic Frontier Foundation's (EFF's) case against AT&T for
collaborating with the NSA in illegal spying of millions of ordinary
Americans. This allows the case to go forward in the courts. EFF Staff
Attorney Kevin Bankston, EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn, and Robert Fram
of Heller Ehrman LLP will analyze the ruling and answer questions in a
conference call at 1:30pm on July 20, 2006. EFF filed the class-action
suit against AT&T in January, alleging that the telecommunications
company has given the National Security Agency (NSA) secret, direct
access to the phone calls and emails going over its network and has
been handing over communications logs detailing the activities of
millions of ordinary Americans.
