Updates from ONA’s Legal Committee

ONA joined the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and media coalitions in two briefs filed in February:

The Wikimedia v. NSA brief supports a group of appellants, which include Wikimedia, PEN American Center and The Nation, who have challenged the NSA’s “upstream surveillance” program, which taps directly into the internet backbone to acquire information to, from or about targets. The case challenges the authority that permits the government to intercept the content of communications between non-U.S. persons located abroad, including internet communications that merely mention targeted selectors. The plaintiffs claim, and we agree, that this surveillance violates their First and Fourth Amendment rights.

We also support a “right of publicity” suit brought by college basketball players against a photography service, T3Media, that sells images of their team, among many other athletes and competitions, through a licensing arrangement with the NCAA. ONA is joining the argument that California’s publicity statute is a restriction on speech based on content, which if broadly applied will interfere with the way news organizations disseminate information to the public. Learn more about the work of ONA’s Legal Affairs committee.
