Hello everyone,
We invite you to take a look at our Diff post https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/08/26/wikimedia-foundation-aclu-and-knight-institute-urge-u-s-supreme-court-to-hear-challenge-to-nsas-mass-surveillance/ about a recent update in our lawsuit against the U.S. National Security Agency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Agency, the agency responsible for a number of mass surveillance practices that first came to light in 2013 https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2013/07/18/wikimedia-foundation-letter-transparency-nsa-prism/. As we describe in the post, we first filed https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/10/opinion/stop-spying-on-wikipedia-users.html this case in 2015 to protect the privacy and free expression rights of Wikimedia users worldwide. In the coming months, we will share more about this case, its implications, and how you can get involved.
Best,
Jim Buatti on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Affairs and Global Advocacy Teams
