Not NewsAnyone who ever assumed their email or call data records were off limits from the government is extremely naive.
I'm as distressed as the next guy over the encroachment of Big Sister, but no law is going to prevent the g-men or any others from doing as they please, nor will daily public lashings of the various carriers for cooperating with the entity that licenses them.
Even those who think they're taking all the necessary steps to be "anonymous" in their everyday travels and communiques, fail to realize that they leave a unique hash pattern of digital detritus that may not name them, but establishes an identity entity than can be tracked. In time, or maybe already, those trying to remain invisible may actually be the most conspicuous. |
