NSA Freedom Of Information Act Requests Up 755% Since Snowden Revelations

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Nov. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- VikingVPN represents a new breed of business.  We sell heavily encrypted internet connections, which are critical for maintaining privacy and anonymity online.  We also engage in legitimate journalism, without the pressures of pleasing advertisers or investors.  We engage in anti-establishment political speech in a way that most for-profit corporations and news organizations cannot, and we do it not because it’s going to bring in revenue, but simply because we feel compelled to.  “We founded this company on principles.  Namely, that people have a right to privacy.  That’s paramount, above any of our other interests.” - Justin Greene.

“Snowden woke up a lot of people.  Anyone who has been paying attention knew, at some level, that dragnet surveillance of electronic communications was happening.  Snowden gave us specifics.  He also gave us hope that people of conscience inside our nation's Surveillance Industrial Complex will do the right thing.” - Derek Zimmer

VikingVPN first grabbed attention when Micah Greene did a Freedom Of Information Act request for his own PRISM data.  We published the NSA’s reply to his FOIA request here.

VikingVPN is engaging in activist journalism again, with the release of a new Freedom Of Information Act(FOIA) request.  This latest request was to discover how many FOIA requests the NSA has received since Snowden first leaked information on PRISM.  You can click here to read a full transcript of the NSA’s response to our request, along with scanned images of the letter sent from the NSA office.

“It’s clear that people want to know what the NSA knows about them.  It’s equally clear that the NSA is terrified of us finding out.” - Micah Greene
