Publishing timestamp: 2024-01-08 12:33:52
Summary
The Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal by X, formerly known as Twitter, challenging the ban on the company disclosing federal surveillance of Americans and foreign nationals using its service. X argued that the prohibition on disclosing national security-related surveillance was unconstitutional. The court's decision leaves in place a ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which held that restrictions on free speech related to receiving surveillance requests for national security concerns do not require judicial review. X had sought the right to publicly reveal the exact number of times it received national security orders requesting user information.
