Re: Since when? First of all, warrantless spying is government coercion, a far different animal than if it were simply a ploy to make a few extra bucks.
And in one high-profile case, the threat of public shame didwork -- with Qwest. It resisted the government's requests and even may have lost certain lucrative contracts as a result, at least according to certain sources. Qwest's only real reason for saying no to the government was to maintain a reputation and look like a privacy-conscious carrier. |
