Freedom in Action

Posted on September 7, 2013 by Michael Froomkin

Two reminders of what freedom in action looks like:

  • A responsible news organization, ProPublica, calmly and carefully explaining why they published the revelations about the NSA’s decryption capabilities.
  • A citizen actualizing her First and Fourth Amendment rights, the sort established in Glik v. Cunniffe, 655 F.3d 78 (1st Cir. 2011).
