News release: “Yesterday we filed a motion for partial summary judgment in our long running Jewel v. NSA case, focusing on the government’s admitted seizure and search of communications from the Internet backbone, also called “upstream.” We’ve asked the judge to rule that there are two ways in which this is unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment:

1. The admitted seizure of communications from the Internet backbone, for which we have government admissions plus the evidence we received long ago from Mark Klein.
2. The government’s admitted search of the entire communications stream, including the content of communications.

We’re very proud of this motion (especially the infographic), and we’re hoping that this shifts the conversation around the world to how the surveillance actually happens, rather than the U.S. government’s self-serving word games about it.”
