AT&T overhauls privacy policy
Telecom giant removes key reference from policy, says it has obligation to government agencies under 'most stringent conditions.'
NEW YORK (CNN) - Phone service provider AT&T announced Thursday a privacy policy overhaul that removes a key reference from its previous policy, which had said the company "does not access, read, upload or store data contained in or derived from private files without the members' authorization..."
Thursday's revision comes after the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a lawsuit in January against AT&T accusing the company of violating the law and the privacy of its customers "by collaborating with the National Security Agency in its illegal program to wiretap Americans' communications." Accusations of collaboration resurfaced in a USA Today story last month stating that AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth provided domestic phone records to the NSA.
.... I know I know - here come the "so what?! - I have nothing to hide" :rolleyes: |

This is to be expected from a communications giant that's known for its questionable customer relations, shady sales tactics, and one that pays plentifully to lobby the gov't to relax consolidations rules.
I'll never understand why people willingly or gladly sacrifice privacy (which is a huge part of freedom) for preceived security. What a ship of fools. This must thrill the New World Order folks.
Also see how these guys are trying to monopolize and extort the free and open Internet that we've all come to cherish. www.savetheinternet.com :mad: |
