| AT&T Revamps Privacy Policy
Basically it boils down to this:
1. Your info is owned by AT&T, they can sell it or give it to the Feds if they want.
2. They can spy on you if they want, (internet or their new video services).
3. Privacy is no longer important to them.
I can't say I'm to happy about these changes. It seems they want to take the law into their own hands and do what they want with personel information. I believe we have a court system and it still applies even in the age of terrorism.
I'm beginning to get very worried how these big corporations seem to get whatever they want and are able to make everything legal for them but illegal for the average joe.
Forget Democracy we are becoming a Plutocracy. |

Interesting. That's quite different from AT&T's bullet point about the changes.
"The major differences you will see in the updated policy:
- a comprehensive policy that applies to all current and future AT&T Internet access services and AT&T Video services
- an expanded explanation of the type of information AT&T Internet Service collects and the way it is used
- a reorganized format" |
