FBI surveillance rules challenged
Rules demanding that Internet service providers and universities rewire their networks for FBI surveillance are being challenged in a US federal court, reports CNet.
Telecommunications firms, non-profit organisations and educators are challenging the rules based on two broad arguments: they are too expensive and are privacy invasive.
They are asking the US Court of Appeals in Washington to overturn the controversial rules, which dramatically extend the sweep of an 11-year-old surveillance law designed to guarantee police the ability to eavesdrop on telephone calls.
