WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court is leaving in place a federal law that
gives telecommunications companies legal immunity for helping the government
with its email and telephone eavesdropping program.
The justices said Tuesday they will not review a court ruling that upheld
the 2008 law against challenges brought by privacy and civil liberties
advocates on behalf of the companies' customers. The companies include AT&T,
Inc., Sprint Nextel Corp. and Verizon Communications Inc.
Lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and Electronic Frontier
Foundation accused the companies of violating the law and customers' privacy
through collaboration with the National Security Agency on intelligence
gathering.
The case stemmed from surveillance rules passed by Congress that included
protection from legal liability for telecommunications companies that
allegedly helped the U.S. spy on Americans without warrants.
