Crime Time to Drop Verizon if you value your privacy.

[IDGETKTFO]

Apparently AT&T did not comply to hand over phone records for Senator Ted Cruz, but Verizon handed phone records over to other Congress members that had their service. If Verizon did this to Congress , imagine what they do to average law abiding citizens.

Imagine thinking anything you do on a network is "private" anymore.

I believe that all this technology has gotten to a point where it really might be doing more harm than good. I wouldn't have believed putting a little computer in everyone's pocket in like 1996 was going to lead to the end of freedom and culture and basically society as we knew it but here we are. You're gonna live in a surveillance state weather you want to or not unless you remove yourself completely from society and even then how off the grid can you be in 2025 and beyond?

Imagine that they are trying to pass chat control law in europe which will make everything on your electric devices not private.

Russia/China/1984 here we come

Joke's on them, we're gonna develop a Sherdog Smoke Signal Forum.

I operate on the assumption that we're inevitably heading towards authoritarianism and the end of personal privacy/freedom. I hope I'm wrong.

Bruv, this Verizon shit is small potatoes. The Trump regime is putting the whole force of the state behind Palantir putting together a database of every US citizen, and you lot are defending it. Palantir is the culmination of the surveillance state, and if you actually care about privacy or freedom, you need to be out in the streets protesting about it now.

There are lots of legitimate concerns but the case in the OP is not a good example. People like Ted Cruz and Jim Jordan were complicit in the Stop the Steal Movement that culminated in Jan 6th, perfectly fair to subpoena their phone records.

I'm curious, where were you on January 6th 2021?

Alex,

What is something a Nazi would ask a citizen with no probable cause.

Good than we agree. I was speaking in a general sense about technology isps cellphone data etc and how it is really starting to feel like a noose. You aren't secure in your communications and thoughts, tracked non stop on camera everywhere and everything you do is on file somewhere for someone to look up should they want to.

That's what the opening post got me thinking about. It's not really the future I would have said I wanted when I was a youngster and I kinda think it sucks more with each passing day. It's impossible to be free when everything you do leaves a data trail and a permanent record and the record holders will dime you out in a heartbeat . Or sell it to whoever for whatever

In a vacuum there's truth to that but in this case issuing a subpoena in an ongoing investigation when you have probable cause is at all an invasion of privacy and trying to argue as much (not saying you are necessarily, I mean TS and others) undermines the argument.
