kudos:1 | Patriot Act? And everyone got so upset over Bush and the Patriot Act.
Then Obama signed the new Patriot Act.
Now this crap.
Privacy is dead, has been for 20 years. The only place it exists is in your thoughts. For now, at least....

And businesses have been looking at phone call records of employees for decades. As a mgr, I got monthly reports of all my direct reports on every call they made from a company landline or cell phone. And every phone call could be listened in to from equipment attached to the company's phone switches.

kudos:1 | That's a little different, that's a company owned phone on company time.
This is my personal time and personal information, and a service I'm paying for to boot.
I'm not full of righteous indignation or anything, I'm just saying it's a bit different.

We will all be seduced into surrendering it, whether for the "social" purpose of joining FaceBook, "sharing" photographs (now ChronoGeoTagged, and scanned for face recognition, thanks Google!), or to "secure" access to Obamacare when we're sick. |

said by Linklist:And every phone call could be listened in to from equipment attached to the company's phone switches. Sounds illegal even if it's company phones. I can understand looking at aggregate call data on calls made from company provided phones like numbers called, date, time, duration of the call, however actually listening in on the phone call definitely sounds illegal. If it's not, it should be. |
