AT&T IS SELLING YOUR DATA TO POLICE

AT&T IS SELLING YOUR DATA TO POLICE

The Daily Beast recently revealed new details on AT&T’s intimate relationship with law enforcement agencies. Under a program called Hemisphere, they sell analysis of your private call detail records to law enforcement agencies. You don’t even have to be an AT&T customer or live in the U.S. to have your details included, and they will try to track you down if you change numbers. Because Hemisphere threatens your privacy, AT&T has tried to keep the program a secret.

Coincidentally, AT&T told us this past summer they “rarely receive complaints that company operations have negatively affected users’ freedom of expression or privacy rights.”

This is a chance to let AT&T know how how you feel about their disregard for your privacy.

We have created a form to empower you to take complaints directly to AT&T. We have some suggested language, but please edit it as you see fit.Don’t let AT&T pretend we don’t care about privacy!

Speak up now - stop this program before government surveillance increases even more!
