collectivemike Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 In general, for me, as a non-terrorist/criminal, I don't really care if they track the calls I'm making.... but in the grand scheme of things this is really fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchino Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I think most are aware, they just don't care. I guess i should feel violated But I kinda see it as a necessary evil... Then again I use tmobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemongoat Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The way I see it is that you know terrorists are dying to attack, and have been since 9/11, yet they have only been able to execute one relatively small attack since. If part of the reason is the government reading the stupid texts I send to my friends, then so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 i think there's a lot more to this story. i am in no means saying "if the government is doing it, there must be a good reason" but, i really don't think i can form a full opinion without knowing the scope of the situation, and i'm sure we never will.

roadmonkey Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 figures I have one more year left on my verizon contract before I just buy my Nexus 4 (or whatever the new Nexus Hotness is) and switch back to T-Mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemongoat Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Where do you draw the line, then?Good question. I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Except that nobody knows whether T-mobile, AT&T, and the rest of them are doing it, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Exactly, the only reason Verizon is doing it is because they were asked. If the other carriers were asked to surrender customer data, they would have to comply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoidantroyd Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I wonder if this can get me some leverage with verizon since my contract is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'd bet money they are doing it, as well. I don't know, someone call President Obama and see if he can explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abovetheearth Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Is Verizon the largest carrier? Is that why it's them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 i'm sure verizon isn't the only carrier doing this, just the only one exposed right now. also, you can't be mad at verizon, they're doing what they're told. be mad at the government if you want, but talk about an uphill battle!

bigbruise Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'm curious to see how big of an impact this has on sales, and customer base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 the guy i used to buy weed from was so paranoid about stuff like this, he’d make me use code words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoidantroyd Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Most everyone still uses code words though not quite as elaborate as the codes used in "The Wire". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
