What about the Church’s involvement in privacy and
Freedom of Information Act cases?
The Church has spearheaded the rights of citizens to gain
access to government documents and there are literally thousands of cases on file. In the United States, the
Church has been one of the foremost proponents of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and in fact,
published a very popular booklet on the subject which has empowered citizens across the nation.
Journalists and others have directly benefited from the precedents established by the Church in cases which have held government agencies accountable to release vital documents to the public on a variety of subjects. The Church’s actions have been heralded as vital contributions to the cause of ensuring honesty in government.
