Fbi Non Disclosure Agreement
In July, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected a constitutional challenge to the Federal Bureau of Investigation`s (FBI) use of national security letters (NSL), which prohibits service providers who receive such letters from informing their customers of government requests for their data.
