AT&T selling your call metadata to law enforcement

2016-10-26 16:23:29.509518+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

AT&T is spying on Americans for profit.

Hemisphere isn’t a “partnership” but rather a product AT&T developed, marketed, and sold at a cost of millions of dollars per year to taxpayers. No warrant is required to make use of the company’s massive trove of data, according to AT&T documents, only a promise from law enforcement to not disclose Hemisphere if an investigation using it becomes public.
