Phone Companies Should be Scared…

Phone Companies Distance Themselves from NSA
Having to confess to being one of the companies that gave the NSA everyone's phone logs is a PR nightmare… but I don't think PR problems is all they should be worrying about.
They should have to deal with every angry customer. They owe it to every one of them whose records they just handed over. As customers, we should demand retribution and make these companies more responsible. They were too willing to give up personal data. I wouldn't mind free service for a while. I really wouldn't mind if some of these big telco companies could possibly split up.
Who you gonna call?
Trustbusters!

Bush signed some kind of executive order the other day making it NO LONGER ILLEGAL for them to lie about it.
Aparently it was a violation of SEC rules for them to not admit their complicity until he signed this thing. That’s why they are suddenly all denying they did it. It’s legal for them to lie now.
Details are on my blog but I don’t recall what title I gave it.
