AT&T Forwarding All Internet Traffic to NSA?

An anonymous reader writes "SpamDailyNews is reporting that the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has filed a brief that claims AT&T has been forwarding internet traffic directly into the hands of the NSA. The brief was filed under seal (a procedure that allows only the judge and the litigants to view the document) in order to give the court time to review the information. From the article: 'More than just threatening individuals' privacy, AT&T's apparent choice to give the government secret, direct access to millions of ordinary Americans' Internet communications is a threat to the Constitution itself. We are asking the Court to put a stop to it now.'"

Not surprised at all....

this sort of thing has been going on for a while. Same with the phone tapping. Digital lines made it really easy to tap the phones without being able to detect it. And I'm sure it's completely undetectable as far as the data traffic is concerned... Those bastards need a good swift kick...

Newsflash: Being modded down on /. is not being "punished". It's merely showing that people who have mod points disagree with your statement.
