ACLU Throws Support Behind Shareholder Challenge to AT&T on Illegal NSA Spying
The American Civil Liberties Union today announced its support for an effort by AT&T shareholders to force the company to disclose more about its role in the recent National Security Agency (NSA) illegal spying scandal and to tighten its policies to better protect customer privacy.More here.
The shareholder effort consists of a proposed resolution to be considered at AT&T's April stockholder meeting, which would require management to take the relatively modest step of issuing a report on the issues surrounding cooperation with the NSA, what steps the company could take to "further ensure" customer privacy, and the company's expenditures related to the program. It is being spearheaded by the As You Sow Foundation, an investor activist group.
