Google challenges U.S. gag order, citing First Amendment

http://j.mp/11XrSGv  (Washington Post)

   "Google is preparing to ask the secretive Foreign Intelligence
    Surveillance Court to ease long-standing gag orders over data requests
    it makes, arguing that the company has a constitutional right to speak
    about information it's forced to give the government.  The legal
    filing, which cites the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech, is
    the latest move by the California-based tech giant to protect its
    reputation in the aftermath of news reports about sweeping National
    Security Agency surveillance of Internet traffic."
