- daniel1980fl 16y agowhat you mean by "knowing it"? I am sure your mobile operator does not have a separate human to sit down all day long and go through your data. Just because they store it, doesnt mean they access and digest through it all the time, something I would call "knowing". FBI does to the contrary. the real question is, best put in Kim Jon Schmitt: if there is something you want to hide from FBI or telecom company, maybe you shouldnt be do it at first place? :)

- hugh3 16y agoAre you committing crimes? If so, you can hardly complain about the FBI breaking down your door. If not, then gaining additional evidence doesn't make it more likely that they're going to break down your door.
