[UC] Addendum to Unileaks posting... corporate privacy rights | Reuters
_Click here: Supreme Court rejects ATT corporate privacy rights | Reuters_ (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/01/us-att-privacy-idUSTRE7203UN20110301) As an addendum to my previous posting about UniLeaks, the US Supreme Court has just ruled that corporations (presumably including universities) do not have the same rights to privacy that are accorded to individuals. Here's an excerpt from the Reuters article (the link above is to the whole thing). ATT Inc and other corporations do not have personal privacy rights to prevent disclosure of federal government records about them, the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday. The justices unanimously overturned a ruling by a U.S. appeals court for the telecommunications company that corporations can assert personal privacy in claiming the records should be exempt from disclosure. The high court, in an opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, agreed with the Obama administration's argument that the personal privacy exemption under the Freedom of Information law applied only to individuals, not to corporations. - Alan Krigman KRF Management, ICON/Information Concepts Inc 211 S 45th St, Philadelphia PA 19104-2918 215-349-6500, fax 215-349-6502 krf...@aol.com or al.krig...@krf.icodat.com
