AT&T has changed their privacy policy effective Friday June 23rd. This new policy is a complete joke. They have said that internet and video customer account info is owned…by AT&T. Dear AT&T…bite me. The dark aspect of this new policy is that acceptance is mandatory. I would offer that AT&T customers should, en masse, quit their contracts. This is a shocking response that shows how out of touch with reality this company really is.
AT&T Wednesday updated its privacy policy, which came as the company and other phone operators faced lawsuits claiming they aided a U.S. government domestic spying program by inappropriately handing over millions of call records.
“My understanding is that they will be monitoring television viewing habits, and that it’s a condition of service that customers can’t opt out of,†said Paul Stephens, policy analyst at Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. “It’s frightening,†he said.
If nothing at all this is an affirmation that AT&T is in league with the NSA and the Bush White House. Boycott AT&T!
