Happy to see a privacy-focused carrier, and it has better policies than any other carrier out there. But founder is formerly from Palantir and there’s a lot of VC money behind it (not inherently a problem, just flagging).

Thoughts?

    By the cops or FBI maybe. The NSA is absolutely recording any and all phone calls that touch five eyes phone networks. That’s what Snowdon warned us all about.

      Collecting and monitoring are two different things. If NSA is still dragnetting communications in the post-Snowden era, it’s likely storing and then accessing when something gives the reason. The sheer volume of communication data is far too large to monitor everything.

        By people, sure. Run it through a magical analytical algorithm that flags stuff for people to look? Or if that’s still too much everywhere, they could focus it on a certain area’s towers and process that data. Will it catch everything or not generate false positives? No, it’s not perfect, but I could see it helping them and being done.

        I doubt an agency like this would just hoard the info and not proactively use.
