TPM Reader DV …
Like you I’m a cynic and skeptic by nature. I, too, tend to believe the telcos care parsing their words very carefully. Yet, regardless of the talk of no contracts or agreements they still say they have not turned over customer records to the NSA. If they did, why would they say so flatly that they hadn’t? No one seems to care anymore if the government says one thing and does another; it’s pretty much the norm by now. But Verizon and Bell South have a lot to lose if they’re caught in a lie this big. They will no doubt lose business and maybe a lot if irate customers see them making such bald faced lies. They enjoy somewhat of a good reputation, especially compared to the government. Would they really gamble with that by lying about what they’ve given the NSA?
Just curious what your thoughts are.
Yours?
