If Corps are people, then the reverse must be true as well..I think we should all set up Tax Shelters in the Cayman Islands...Margarida Inc...catchy no? -------------------------------------------------- Twitter filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government in a federal court on Tuesday over what the information network says are over-restrictive laws that prevent full disclosure of the scope of government surveillance. The suit names as defendants Attorney General Eric Holder, the Department of Justice, FBI head James Comey and the FBI, and notes, The Snowden disclosures have deepened public concern regarding the scope of governmental national security surveillance. While technologies companies, like Twitter, Google and Facebook, are able to issue transparency reports, those reports can only identify the number of government requests for user data in broad ranges. Our ability to speak has been restricted by laws that prohibit and even criminalize a service provider like us from disclosing the exact number of national security letters (“NSLs”) and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (“FISA”) court orders received—even if that number is zero, Ben Lee, a Twitter vice president, wrote in a blog post. And that, Lee stated, violates the companys constitutional rights. commondreams.org/news/2014/10/07/twitter-sues-justice-department-fbi-right-reveal-scope-government-surveillance
