Did a Tech Company challenge Mass Scrutiny Order of NASA?
Newly released document has indicated that an unnamed tech company rejected to fulfill the NSA orders to enable the agency spy on the client users of the company. It has been considered the first known case from an organization, which indicated that the industry is entirely rejecting such a request. The document indicated that a ruling of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court was seized from the government after the request submitted by ACLU FOIA. It is heavily secret that we are unable to mention the tech company who took stand against NSA. Point to be noted that the mysterious company didn’t fulfill the NSA order under Section 702. It is the legal structure helping the PRISM domestic spying program.
This program pressurizes companies to provide access to NSA for international communication of Americans. The company rejected to cooperate and grant NSA because allowing access would compromise its First and Fourth Amendment rights. Eventually, the court rejected claim of the tech company and ordered it to fulfill the request & requirement of NSA. Judge Rosemary Collyer presided over the case and said that there is a possibility for a potential error and it will not be a perfect reason to cancel the scrutiny. Now, the document is available to the public from 2014, so any type of scrutiny might be happened. The NSA claimed in April that incidentally collecting domestic American emails in its sweeps will be stopped, which its analysts were accidentally collecting in 2016.
