Derek Slater of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) says,
The EFF filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in its class-action lawsuit against AT&T today. However, much of the evidence that was to be included in the motion — as well as the legal arguments based on that evidence — was held back temporarily at the request of the Department of Justice (DOJ). While the government is not a party to the case, DOJ attorneys told EFF that even providing the evidence under seal to the court — a well-established procedure that prohibits public access and permits only the judge and the litigants to see the evidence — might not be sufficient security.
