Both are an invasion of your privacy and should never happen. “I’d love to rip the telcos for this one, but the fact is you can go out and purchase peoples’ phone records on the Internet.

I guess my provider Verizon was too busy this week providing my records to the NSA to worry about good service. Now when I look at those commercials with all those people standing behind the Verizon customer representing, "the network," I wonder just how many of them are NSA agents spying on the customer for the government? http://arevolutionofone.blogspot.com/2006/05/verizon-its-first-amendment_13.html I just got a voicemail message Saturday morning that was sent Monday.

Corporations (generally) go towards the greatest potential for profit. Ergo, dangle the possibility of money or of nice government contracts in front of them, and it's "Privacy? What's that?". Meanwhile, bureaucrats like to consolidate power. Show them an opportunity to gain greater control over or information about the general public (as individuals and as a group) and they'll jump for it. Incidentally, when you take this program in context... so, the government has a target (may it be a terrorist suspect, political opponent, or whistleblowing journalist... don't laugh -- it's quite the possibility, either now or down the road a bit...). They then consult this database to find out everyone they come in contact with. Hmmm... is that the private number of a federal employee who might've been a whistleblower? Or perhaps we could tap the phones of a political opponent's friends and family to see what we can find? There's hardware at central switchboards to allow the owner of the lines to listen in to just about any call they might care to -- what protects any particular call is anonymity and the sheer mass of calls. … is anybody REALLY surprised?

Giving out private information without our permission. These corporations really care about the decloration of independance, bill of rights, and freedoms. Taking away our rights as Americans, taking away our freedom of speech all in the name of money. It's not right. Our government should realize whats more important money or Democracy.
