- magicalist 12y agoYes it has. A district court originally ruled that Jewel et al didn't have standing, but the 9th Circuit disagreed[1], ruling that the allegation was a concrete and particular injury that was easily traceable to the NSA's actions. This was also well before Snowden's revelations, which only added (significantly) more evidence to the EFF's case.
