ACLU Joins The Fight Against Surveillance

from the changing-with-the-times dept

Historically, the ACLU has focused on expanding civil rights and protecting free speech. So, this is a bit of a change, but they're (rightfully so) afraid that governments and businesses are using technology to spy on just about everyone, and are looking to bring more attention to the issue.
