As part of a National Day of Action, Digital Fourth, #MassOps, and the Defend the Fourth Coalition are holding a protest this Thursday to Shut Down Spy Centers across the country. It starts at 2 and will be near the Boston Fusion Center, SW Corridor Park, 1201 Tremont Street, Roxbury, MA.
As we have in the past, we fully endorse this event.
As Digital Fourth noted:
The New York Times revealed last week that the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) now has access to all data, not minimized for privacy in any way, that was authorized for collection via the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. That includes the phone metadata dragnet on all US calls, and much else besides.
The NCTC shares that data with all of the local (80+) fusion centers around the US. Massachusetts has two of them. The closest is at the Boston Police Department.
The upshot is that all of the information that the NSA is unconstitutionally collecting on you: your emails, phone metadata, search history, Facebook posts and messages, and more are being shared with local law enforcement. Feel safe now?
Speakers include Nadeem Mazen and Chris Faraone.
It would be great if you could circulate the information to your friends and colleagues. The EFF has a great new FAQ on the spy center issue.
It will be fun, and we hope you will attend.
