Time to Boycott AT&T

June 24, 2006

Quoting SFGate.com:

AT&T has issued an updated privacy policy that takes effect Friday. The changes are significant because they appear to give the telecom giant more latitude when it comes to sharing customers’ personal data with government officials.

The new policy says that AT&T — not customers — owns customers’ confidential info and can use it “to protect its legitimate business interests, safeguard others, or respond to legal process.”

The policy also indicates that AT&T will track the viewing habits of customers of its new video service — something that cable and satellite providers are prohibited from doing.

Moreover, AT&T (formerly known as SBC) is requiring customers to agree to its updated privacy policy as a condition for service

One more company destroying personal freedoms and abusing their customers. I’ll have to add AT&T to my list of companies I hate and avoid doing business with when possible. They join the “good” company of Sony, Microsoft, and Delta.

sony, microsoft, delta, at&t, att, privacy

    Right on. This new policy is so that AT&T can continue to funnel our traffic and data to the NSA to catalog and search. He who controls the data holds all the power.

    I just watched “V for Vendetta” and was startled at how much of that movie echoed what is happening with us today.

    V is certainly a well done metaphor for the growing distopian society America is on the road to becoming.

    I say boycott both AT&T and Verizon, don’t buy their services. We can put them out of business.
