Tech industry, Obama administration should push for more disclosures in wake of Yahoo victory

[Commentary] President Barack Obama should help lead the effort to provide sunshine on the surveillance program. If the government's efforts are reasonable, as Obama has said, more disclosure can only be beneficial -- for the country and for his administration. And in the case of the Yahoo suit, it will be illuminating to all Americans to learn what information Yahoo specifically objected to providing. Balancing privacy and security is increasingly challenging. Silicon Valley companies can help Americans better understand that balance by being open about their own operations and by leading the discussion about what privacy protections consumers can reasonably expect.
