Sorry Anthony, I wasnt criticizing you, any vitriol came from there not being much in the way of protest in our business culture about being spied on by our service providers, and perhaps wishing we cared a little more about that.

Its not your reporting, its more of a culture thing. I think you guys do a great job in general.

Those are some fair points, but in my defense I was discussing the privacy plan as a *marketing effort*, and I did say there didn't seem to be any serious change to the practice.

“We will not sell (..)” meaning they can exchange it or give it away?

They are still wire tapping our every phone call for the government. Is that in their 5 promises somewhere?

Please dont paint companies that are clearly invading our privacy in the most heinous way as being good at privacy concerns. As I understand it, ALL phone calls are being recorded and transcribed from the revelations of the NSA wiretapping program that have been released.

Im not sure theyre reading my email or internet traffic, but they dont have to spy on us in every single way to be completely being dishonest about privacy matters.

Its nice theyre not selling my information to other companies too, but still, this is bunk, please treat it as the marketing effort it is.

Hmm, nope, doesn't restore any goodwill towards AT&T.
