There's nothing to leak and there's nothing new here. Of course governments can tap phone calls. Every criminal knows, why do you think they use p2p encrypted phones? Every engineer knows, there's government tap devices in every datacenter. There's no violations, because it's the law.
If you have a job you are not anti-authoritarian, don't kid yourself.
The surveillance systems are not secret, they are just low profile.
If there's anything to be mad about, then it's the public's indifference to their own privacy and social safety.
- shutupalready 12y ago> There's nothing to leak Yes there is: A million snippets of recorded phone conversations from Vodafone or whatever telecom would really shock you if it included your voice. > it's the public's indifference to their own privacy The public is indifferent when it's abstract or they think it doesn't include them. I think most people would be horrified if even stupid mundane conversations were leaked and they heard their own voice.
- cowbell 12y ago>I think most people would be horrified if even stupid mundane conversations were leaked and they heard their own voice. That's actually an excellent idea. Auto dial all the people recorded and play back one of their conversations at random to them. That would generate a massive backlash overnight.
