AT&T to publicly wiretap broadband phone calls

AT&T doesn’t denial it. The telecoms company has corrected its privacy policy to comply with the NSA wiretapping program.
“AT&T said it does not share the data with third-party marketing firms, but it cites circumstances under which it shares customer information with the government and law enforcement,” said the Washington Post.
A correction to the same article indicates that “the new policy applies only to AT&T’s broadband Internet and video customers.”
As a reaction, Mitch Ratcliffe from the ZDNet Rational Rants blog, wrote:
“If AT&T feels it can dictate rules to its customers rather than discuss and debate the ways it will use customer data, customers should boycott the company. Switch from AT&T landlines to VoIP services or a wireless service that has a better policy (good luck with that, though) and if AT&T is your ISP, switch to one that doesn’t claim the right to sell your clickstream data.”
Amen.
