Yahoo will be allowed to prove that it fought against the National Security Agency’s Internet spying program, PRISM. A secret court ruled on Monday that the government should investigate how it can declassify the legal battle.
“The Government shall conduct a declassification review of this Court’s Memorandum Opinion of [Yahoo's case] and the legal briefs submitted by the parties to this Court,” reads the ruling, according to CNET. “After such review, the Court anticipates publishing that Memorandum Opinion in a form that redacts any properly classified information.”
Yahoo, Google and other Internet giants are fighting the federal government to disclose more aspects of the secret dragnet program, which they say have been exaggerated by the media. All participating companies must adhere to a strict gag order that forbids them from talking specifics about the alleged spying operation.
