NSA Mass Spying and the Law
Rocket Matter has posted a complimentary on-demand webinar on the legal aspects of the National Security Agency’s mass surveillance of Americans along with others around the world.
On its website, Rocket Matter says the government vacuums up massive amounts of communications and communications records, then uses various techniques to search and sort through them, claiming that the initial collection is legally justified by the techniques by which it does the sorting and discarding of untargeted material.
This webinar covers the most controversial programs and walks through how the Fourth and First Amendments might apply to them. It also covers the status of various litigation challenges and legislative proposals to reform the NSA, the FISA Court, and surveillance law.
