[Chapter-delegates] Dutch lawyers and journalists (and ISOC NL) sue government over NSA links

[Alexander Blom]

All,

Yesterday, the Dutch ISOC chapter joined a coalition of citizens, 
criminal lawyers and journalists in order to sue the Dutch minister of 
the Interior. Subject are the halfhearted confessions that the Dutch 
secret service (the AIVD) may be using NSA-data to illegally snoop on 
Dutch citizens. While the NSA data are illegal, the governement gives 
the impression that it considers the NSA to be a handy way to get around 
Dutch privacy laws. At ISOC NL, we felt that open internet means more 
than just the unobstructed routing of IP packets, and that an internet 
where all exchange of data is under surveillance 24/7 cannot be called open.

Please see http://cnnmon.ie/1fmUiyN for more.

There have been contributions from other chapters re this subject, let 
us continue sharing.

All the best,

Alex Blom
ISOC NL
