“Google, Facebook, and Yahoo on Monday announced that the petition requests that the U.S. government allow the companies to publish, in detail, the types of national security requests they have received under the controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Google has also requested that the court hold the hearing publicly and not in private.”

Who exactly will this benefit?
