FSF, other groups join EFF to sue NSA over unconstitutional surveillanceThe Free Software Foundation has joined the Electronic Frontier Foundation and others in challenging the US National Security Agency's (NSA) mass surveillance of telecommunications in the United States. "The suit, *First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles v. NSA*, argues that such government surveillance of political organizations discourages citizens from contacting those organizations and therefore chills the free association and speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. The EFF will represent the politically diverse group of plaintiffs, which in addition to the FSF, includes Greenpeace, the California Guns Association, the National Organization for the Normalization of Marijuana Laws, and People for the American Way."
