On what grounds?
Even if they are to be treated as individuals the constitution states that unless they have probable cause or a warrant they are not authorized to give that data to anyone.
By Verizon participating in giving out data, they by no means should be dismissed from the investigation. |

| what? The law should say nothing preventing them from sharing whatever information they choose to with anyone. Verizon signs no confidentiality agreement with its customers so there is no basis for a civil action even.Any law that prevented them from sharing information WOULD violate the 1st amendment.

Except for some laws concerning private information like medical records and VHS/DVD rentals and certain financial records, there is nothing that prevents corporations from giving your info to anyone, including the government.

I am getting really tired of people deciding what they think the law SHOULD be, and then claiming that the Constitution requires that result.

Then what is the point of keeping your "social security number" safe, when the banks and other financial companies are throwing it around like free pizza?

For medical records, it's HIPAA. For everything else, not sure. |
