I realize that every byte of data we have been sending since 2001 has been channeled into AT&T spy room in SF and now elsewhere. Remember when the whistle was blown on the Telecoms gathering all the data?
What I am hearing now is more and more public rationalization and justification for what they have been doing all along. The tools and techniques and reach has improved, over the years.
And it is global, not limited to just here.
