The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said the full text of National Security Presidential Directive 54 is subject to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, in a Thursday ruling (http://bit.ly/1nZXRTf). According to the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), which filed the lawsuit and FOIA requests, the directive is “a previously-secret Presidential order granting the government broad authority over cybersecurity matters” (http://bit.ly/1nZYaxa). The document (http://bit.ly/1ncaCnG) also discusses “government efforts to enlist private sector companies to assist in monitoring Internet traffic,” EPIC said.
