I think it may be more appropriate to treat them like Big Asbestos. All it should take is them knowingly handing our private messages in full to other corporations. They were not a party to these messages, they were a network service provider.
This actually happened.

Regardless of what may or may not be on the TOS, that's federal wiretapping. Fuck you, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Wait for the civil lawsuits afterwards - there will be a lot of them. A TOS does not override federal law.
The fact that this hasn't happened is a testament to regulatory capture, and to the federal government wanting to use this capacity for themselves to wiretap citizens. Both of these are jumping way out of their lane to invade your right to privacy. You should be at their door with torches and pitchforks.
- anonuser123456 7y agoYeah totally. Building a website is exactly the same as giving hundreds of thousands of people lung cancer.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoSome might argue a form of figurative brain cancer.
- edmundsauto 7y agoWhat does that even mean, in concrete terms? How does it affect my health, and what causal evidence is there to support that link?

- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoWell, I think the answer to your question is the word figurative in my post.
