EFF Files Lawsuit Over Government Agencies' Social-Networking Use
The Electronic Frontier Foundation wants to know how government agencies are using social-networking services in surveillance and investigations, so the Internet-watchdog nonprofit filed suit against the CIA, the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Treasury Department and the office of the Director of National Intelligence Tuesday for allegedly refusing to release that information, CNET reported.
The EFF had requested information from more than one-dozen agencies in October on how they use social networks for investigative or data gathering purposes, according to CNET.
