2) ATT would most likely be breaking Multiple State and Federal Laws by data mining such information. As I said above, ITS NOT their network. It's the shareholders =) and subscribers. As when you buy a subscription, you are basically leasing that aspect of their service. It's a lease agreement the service I pay for.
Therefore, the constitution can come into play. As we saw with the NSA, this information could be turned over and handed over to the government or other agencies. Hence, exposing their customers to unforeseen ramifications. Look at it this way, NO ISP has yet to tread on the dangerous ground of looking at what gets sent. It opens the ISP for liability if files are shared, it opens the ISP to privacy invasion lawsuits, and worst of all, it breaks loads of laws. Depending on how this is carried out, you better believe it'll end up in court. As I stated, the constitution does come into play as even though this is a private network, it must abide by laws set forth for its operation in the U.S. |
