Yahoo, ACLU press US govt to disclose secret surveillance orders
San Francisco
YAHOO Inc on Wednesday asked US director of national intelligence James Clapper to declassify a surveillance order the company had received so that it can respond to a Reuters report that it set up a special program last year to scan all Yahoo Mail users' incoming messages.
Separately, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a motion before the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court asking it to release the Yahoo order and over 20 other significant rulings dating back more than a decade.
