AT&T Rewrites Privacy Policy
VikingThunder writes "The San Francisco Chronicle reports that AT&T has revamped its privacy policy, in an effort to head off future consumer lawsuits, with changes taking effect this Friday. AT&T is introducing a new policy that gives it more 'latitude' when it comes to sharing your browsing history with government agencies. Notable changes include notification that AT&T will track viewing habits of customers of its new video services Homezone and U-Verse, which is forbidden for cable and satellite companies, as well as explicitly stating that the customer's data belongs to the company: 'While your account information may be personal to you, these records constitute business records that are owned by AT&T. As such, AT&T may disclose such records to protect its legitimate business interests, safeguard others, or respond to legal process.'"

"Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power"
Your mindless tautologies do not amount to a tactical strategy against the islamists. Will it take another, worse attack before you take them seriously?
an ill wind that blows no good
in the a$$ like a good naive citizen. you can't fight it. not when laws can be sold to the highest bidder in this land of freedom and liberty. and you actually thought this was YOUR country. ha!! guess again.
"Do you know many legal agreement between two private party, and which can be changed at any time by one party, even absolving this party from any previous legal agreemeent with the other party, without involving this second party ?"
You mean like Bush and the Constitution??
"But this one goes to 11!"
Resist. If you have to go dark, resist. The Bush global government-corporatist gestapo is the greatest threat to humanity since European fascism. It is time for conservatives to rise to the cause of limited government that they espoused before this evil man and his henchman came into power, and to join with other freedom loving people to use every non-violent means at our disposal to rip Bush and the Republican congress and courts from power, while there is still time.
Peace and long life.
