Tech Firms Object to Getting Redacted Version of Government Response to FISA Disclosure Request

The companies said in a court filing Tuesday that they have been provided only a "heavily redacted version" of the government's submissions, which included its response and a supporting declaration, and all requests for greater access have been rejected.
