ACLU press release today: “The release of the 38-page report, entitled The Surveillance-Industrial Complex: How the American Government is Conscripting Businesses and Individuals in the Construction of a Surveillance Society, marks the launch of the ACLU’s Surveillance Campaign, which is designed to regain consumers’ personal privacy rights by mobilizing people to contact prominent companies – such as drugstore chains, insurance companies and retailers – to ask them to take a “no-spy pledge” to defend their customers’ privacy against government intrusion. A list of suggested companies for consumers to contact is available online at www.aclu.org/privatize.”
