They are watching you. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -9/+117Enjoy that iPhone
- redrock34, on 10/10/2007, -6/+82Qwest was one of the few companies that told the NSA to go ***** themselves when they were asked to spy on their customers.
- mrfreeziexp, on 10/10/2007, -6/+78"At AT&T, we vigorously protect our customers' privacy and only share information as specifically authorized by the law."
complete lie. - LakeshoreBaby, on 10/10/2007, -4/+63Nice find.
- reeder, on 10/10/2007, -7/+57Good thing Apple signed the deal with them.
- Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -4/+52Nah, it's truth - we just have ***** up laws.
- andrewgreve, on 10/10/2007, -5/+44War is peace
Freedom is Slavery
iPhone is BB
Doubleplusgood! - Nickerz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+40it's obvious if your not in a position to confirm or deny, that it's going on no doubt. What legal implications could their be for denying something that isn't there? NONE of course. But saying something isn't there that is, well obviously then you issue some BS statement like this.
- Crashespad, on 10/10/2007, -2/+36Occasionally I just pick up my phone and say " So what are you wearing" then hang up.. I know some where, there is some guy from the CIA going "WTF?"
- pcharles23, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35they indirectly said everything you wanted to know.
- Azriel7, on 10/10/2007, -3/+33If you are against the war..oh yes, they are very interested in you.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -6/+35They are spying on you. My grandpa used to work with the F.B.I. to illegally wiretap citizens via the help of AT&T. Of course, the company had a different name then, but it's the same company. They willingly spied on their own customers with the F.B.I. despite the lack of a warrant. My grandpa told me that anyone they deemed a "threat to national security" would be tapped immediately. Tell AT&T their secret is out. They spy on their customers.
SPREAD THE WORD! I've got inside information, and they aren't fooling ANYONE. - DrSpud, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28Unironically enough, I received absolutely no ads whatsoever.
Adblock FTW. - eatsushi, on 10/10/2007, -4/+27What the hell have we become?
- Heembo, on 10/10/2007, -5/+28You iPhone makes the NSA and FBI happy for one main reason - you cannot remove the battery. Does this make sense?
- snoolyagain, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23NSA has Qwest traffic through the AT&T tap. I read the whole frickin article, a different one. anyway i think that is it. the AT&T equipment installs are basically to capture the whole kitty.
- Bob042, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22How would denying that they do this present "exceptionally grave harm to national security"? It'll embolden all the terrorists knowing that they can use their iPhones to plot dastardly deeds?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23and this is a shock why? if you thought they were only tapping landlines youre living in...1984.
- cactus476, on 10/10/2007, -5/+25Ironically enough, I received an AT&T ad to the right of the comments.
- VicHislop, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21Stop asking questions or it's off to Room 101 for the lot of you.
- holycrapitsed, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20And I cannot confirm nor deny that AT&T are dicks. But really, they are.
- kc8yds, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20when I am on my IPhone I'll be sure to talk about my plot to destroy Washington DC.

Contact anyone you can think of and tell them:
This weekend a story became front page digg.com news regarding a spy program involving the NSA and telecommunications traffic via the AT&T network. The technician, a 20 year AT&T veteran, tells the story of how he inadvertently discovered that the whole flow of Internet traffic in several AT&T operations centers was being regularly diverted to the National Security Agency (NSA).
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/homefront/interviews/klein.html
Just moments after this story became front page news; AT&T released a statement that says:
http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=4800&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=22372
"San Antonio, Texas, June 27, 2006
At AT&T, we vigorously protect our customers' privacy and only share information as specifically authorized by the law.
The news media have carried reports alleging that AT&T is participating in an unlawful NSA terrorist surveillance program. Unfortunately, the law does not permit AT&T to respond to those allegations.
The U.S. Department of Justice has stated that AT&T may neither confirm nor deny AT&T's participation in the alleged NSA program because doing so would cause "exceptionally grave harm to national security" and would violate both civil and criminal statutes. Under these circumstances, AT&T is not able to respond to such allegations.
What we can say is AT&T is fully committed to protecting our customers' privacy and would not provide customer information to any government agency except as specifically authorized under the law."
This should be a serious concern for every American, business, organization and media outlet. As this story points out, "When the founders wrote the Fourth Amendment, they had a specific antagonism against what were called general warrants, as you might know. General warrants are when the British troops would come in with a warrant and say: "We have the right to search your house. We're looking for something. Looking for what? We can't tell you. We're going to ransack your house." That's a general warrant."
Besides general warrants this sort of unconstitutional activity also violates many privacy laws.
As Americans, none of us should be willing to sit aside and watch this Government commit such atrocities against unsuspecting and lawful citizens. I am asking you please to investigate and report this unlawful behavior so that these crimes can be appropriately addressed. - EnglishVoodoo, on 10/10/2007, -5/+21The things you own, end up owning you.
- AZTriGuy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17What's great is if I ever lose my place in a conversation I'm having, I just say, "Where was I, can you read that back to me?" and a voice comes on the line...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Sorry, we will only discuss hairstyles from the ’70s.
- dougbarrett, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Does it really matter? In 3 years, AT&T will have full control of all of the phone systems again, so it won't matter who your service is provided by.
The best thing to do is build a defense system, use an open source linux distro on a small PC for your router to filter incoming and outgoing traffic. Create stronger encryption and make it a standard for all websites to use it. Nobody ever said the convenience of technology would not come without a price. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16How stupid do they think terrorists are? Do they really think they're going to Google 'how to blow up the Twin Towers'? Or call Uncle Mustapha and ask him on an open line to send money for bombs? This is instead all about control over Americans, tapping their private information and sticking people on lists of people who oppose this administration. Warrantless wiretaps on American citizens, and this ISN'T impeachable?? And maybe it's about blackmail. Maybe our representatives are shy about acting on impeachment because they're being blackmailed themselves. Wiretaps can be really useful.
- Shorties, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Bullsh!t? is AT&T censoring too...
/Sarcasm - adderx99, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14one red pill please.
- Heembo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17And you cannot remove the battery from an iPhone. This is a big deal, they can listen to you - anytime. ANYtime.
- mousebite, on 10/10/2007, -4/+18So this means that more Terrorists prefer AT&T over other network providers?
- Jazzillion, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Companies can choose to protect their customers even if it is the NSA who wants information. They would even be able to seek the ruling of a judge if they felt compelled to deny NSA's access to such information, thus making a public response of how the government has chosen to supercede company policy. Instead. they lie, they manipulate, and allow the government to perform unconstitutional acts. Tax exemptions? Contract referrals? Who knows what the selling point was for such a drastic surrender of justice....
That makes me a sad panda.... - redrock34, on 10/10/2007, -5/+18Not even the NSA can defy the Constitution. So in a court battle the company would most likely win.
- casemon, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17Interview with the IT guy who worked at AT&T and helped release info on this illegal behavior by the government... he's retired now.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/homefront/interviews/klein.html - understudy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Boycott AT&T
_ - akinnee, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15And are you surprised? I am not.
- mckirkus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12I just switched from AT&T/Cingular to TMobile. The lady on the phone asked me why. I told her it was because Dick Cheney was probably listening to the conversation. She laughed and then I heard what sounded like a hunting rifle blast... followed by silence.
- Marijuana, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15So what does this extend to? Would this mean the NSA can retrieve anything from text messages to voice messages? I'm a little paranoid over that.
AT&T needs to be tried already for virtually monopolising the phone industry. http://tinyurl.com/yrtkyc - pcharles23, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12because national security has a "gut feeling" They, i mean, "terrorists" are going to blow some more ***** up.
- andrewgreve, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13The New World Order.
Don't worry, though, the Ron Paul rEVOLution has begun! - nakani, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Not sure who dugg snoolyagain down, but he's right. Qwest may not have directly given NSA a backdoor, but they are able to intercept that traffic as it routes through other companies such as AT&T.
- andrewgreve, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10You're a doubleplusgood doublethinker!
Ownthought is thoughtcrime. - Darthcactaur, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11What is this crap all about...
Unfortunately, the law does not permit Me to respond to your question. - badarabdad, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12my thoughts exactly. but there are so many consumer whores who only care about having the newest "it" item. civil rights issues are not worth a cent in their minds. sad little sheep.
- Dumbledorito, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Let me know when a cop gets around to searching anyone from the Justice Department. I presume that will be the same day that Satan ice-skates to the office.
- anarchytv, on 10/10/2007, -7/+15I will confirm totally that I am not spying on you, in fact, I really don't care what you do with your life, its your life and you have a right to privacy and I respect that. AT & T, your turn to say the same!
The NSA is just a bunch of math geeks, really, AT&T, who are a bunch of engineers and linemen, have nothing to phear from them. Engineers can take math geeks any day of the week. - tuxidomasx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9you can say that again
- Dumbledorito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I think I'm going to start answering my phone "Hello, ***** Alberto Gonzalez and the retard who appointed him, may I help you?"
