Thank you Verizon for giving the government all my information. I feel safer that you are monitoring a guy transmitting information from a cave in Afhganistan. What a bunch of crap!!!

Turn it around and …
Turn it around and put a company in the place of the individual.
The telecom company (in this scenario) has the right to the information, and a bunch of individuals don’t want to give that information out.
Somehow i doubt that the government would stand up for these people like they do for these companies, don’t you?

How is that working …
How is that working out for you guys?
More people died in a war to stop terrorism than by the actual attack, everyone is still scared shitless 6years later and you have a prison for torturing people that may or may not be terrorists, so your ideals, justice and freedom for all stuff is down the drain as well.
Keep up the good work.

I am from Europe, …
I am from Europe, so different culture, ideas etc.
But it freaks me out that many Americans believe that you can fight terrorism by being scared of your own shadow and giving all your info to the government.

So now our laws only apply to people who aren’t working for the government.

Why protect Telecom …
Why protect Telecom companies? Congress luvs to protect massive corporations that pay them well, deregulating the bastards and then giving them free reign to do as they please with our most private of data. Congress is doing Orwell proud.

what a bunch of …
what a bunch of horseshit. So, let me get this straight — according to this clown, open government might hurt corporations so therefore we should make everything secret.
brilliant. bloody brilliant.

It’s enormously …
It’s enormously important to expose these telecom copanies to “crushing litigation” for having “helped” the US government in a “time of need”. Christ! What would Jefferson say? [Probably something different from what Stalin would say.]
Are we SURE we want to protect our corporate masters?
Why?

Then what’s the …
Then what’s the Telecom companies responsibilities to US citizens if they can easily share our communication habits with the government?
Aren’t we paying them in order to use their service? The least they should do is to protect our privacy.

it’s a real concern to me that our freedoms and civil liberties are being slowly chipped away at. and to legislate away my right to legal reddress is pretty troubling, too. we’re heading for a police state.
