reporter: Let’s see how the phone companies defend themselves.
AT&T: AT&T has a long history of vigorously protecting
customer privacy. It’s just that that history is over now.
Verizon: Verizon takes a more stringent view. We are
committed to safeguarding our customers’ privacy, but who you call
is not private. All kinds of third parties buy that info.
clue:
Again, I started with geniune quotes and merely filled in some
of the... subtext.
There is a still-ongoing scandal about third-party companies
which have somehow acquired phone records and are reselling
them. The FCC seemed ready to crack down on this—but who
knows what will happen now?
take oh take this clue away
