The letter is addressed to President Barack Obama and the US Congress and comes in response to the NSA's PRISM surveillance program that came to light earlier this year. Revelations about that program revealed that the government had backdoors into several of the technology companies' servers. All those technology companies have denied giving the US government access.</p>
<p>This letter will be published in several of the national papers including The Washington Post and The New York Times. It has also been published on a website created by the technology companies that authored the letter, ReformGovernmentSurveillance.com (http://reformgovernmentsurveillance.com). On that website, the technology companies have also published a set of principles they believe governments should adhere to in regards to the collection and processing of citizens' data.</p><p style="padding:5px;clear:both;">Apple, others call for government surveillance reform (http://www.tuaw.com/2013/12/09/apple-others-call-for-government-surveillance-reform/) originally appeared on TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (http://www.tuaw.com) on Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:00:00 EST.
