Big thanks to everyone who has seen this through, across four GCs and three (or four?) EDs. Very few non-profits have the tenacity, resources, and skills to even attempt something like this. Well done work even if the outcome was not what we had wished for.

Hi everyone,

Today, the United States’ Supreme Court denied our petition to review the U.S. National Security Agency’s mass surveillance of internet communications and activities, marking the end of our case Wikimedia Foundation v. NSA. While this decision is a blow to privacy and freedom of expression online, we don’t plan to let it hinder our advocacy efforts. We invite you to read our Diff post about this decision and our plans to continue to push to protect free knowledge on Wikimedia projects and beyond.

If you wish to share the news, you can use this social media toolkit.


Best,

Jim

Hello everyone,

We invite you to take a look at our Diff post about a recent update in our lawsuit against the U.S. National Security Agency, the agency responsible for a number of mass surveillance practices that first came to light in 2013. As we describe in the post, we first filed 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
