Now It's "Personal": The Case of Federal Communications Commission v. AT&T Inc.




POGO Podcasts show

Summary: Does a corporation enjoy the benefits of "personal privacy" when it comes to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)? That's the key question that was argued today before the Supreme Court in the case of AT&T v. FCC. Back in November, POGO and allies in the good government community challenged a Court of Appeals decision and argued in an amicus brief that the "personal privacy" exemption to FOIA did not apply to corporate entities. In this podcast POGO staffers go over the arguments and implications of the case.
