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?
give me a clue so sweet and true
