Through a mix of documents unearthed by Freedom of Information Act requests and the aforementioned recording, Soghoian describes how "the government routinely obtains customer records from ISPs detailing the telephone numbers dialed, text messages, emails and instant messages sent, web pages browsed, the queries submitted to search engines, and geolocation data, detailing exactly where an individual was located at a particular date and time."
There really is no privacy anymore

I'm baffled by anyone who finds this to be news and anyone who has a problem with it. 99.9 percent of the time, they're looking for somebody who didsomethin suspect. *insert Kanye shrugs shoulders pic*

Nothing new. Still upsetting to see it happen

Naïve? Please. So cops are just hitting up sprint to see random peoples call logs? Does that honestly make sense to you?

I never mentioned anything regarding cops.

Don't commit crimes and this won't matter.

 

[outbackbob24]

Can I somehow use this to get out of my contract? Sprint is killing me.

No, because I'm sure there's something in the contract that states that information (texts, phone numbers, etc.) is property of Sprint.They can do anything they want except record conversations without consent (unless a jurisdiction has a warrant for such info).
