Le juge rappelle dans sa décision qu’il y a eu en outre, depuis 2005, suffisamment de révélations volontaires par des officiels du renseignement pour que les programmes de surveillance, le type de cible ou encore certaines procédures ne puissent plus être protégées par le secret d’État.

Digital rights organization the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has published its fifth annual Who has your back? report into online service providers’ transparency and privacy practices when it comes to government requests for accessing user data.

The report awards companies up to a maximum of five stars for performance in various areas, such as following what the EFF judges as “industry-accepted best practices”; telling users about government data demands; disclosing policies on data retention disclosing government content removal requests; and taking what it dubs a “pro-user” public policy position and specifically opposing government mandated backdoors in digital services.
