“Yahoo has called on Fisa, the secretive US surveillance court, to let it publish its legal argument against a case that gave the government ‘powerful leverage’ in persuading tech companies to co-operate with a controversial data-gathering program. In a court filing first reported by San Jose Mercury News the company argues the release would demonstrate that Yahoo ‘objected strenuously’ in a key 2008 case after the National Security Agency (NSA) demanded Yahoo customers’ information. Yahoo’s move comes as its rivals have also pushed for the government to provide more public clarity on their surveillance of people’s online lives.”
