Hey Congress, your calls aren't really private either



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Hotline's Blogometer wrote about John's post on the company that's selling your phone call records to anyone:

Picking up on a 1/5 report in the Chicago Sun-Times, AMERICAblog's John Aravosis called attention to the fact that for $110, "Anyone can buy a list of your incoming and outgoing phone calls, cell or land-line." Highly alarmed, Aravosis obtained his own cell records. He asked, rhetorically: "So, anybody got Bill Frist's or Harry Reid's phone numbers? Or maybe the phone number of the FBI tip line?"
I bet it might cause a few ulcers on the Hill knowing that private calls aren't private anymore. Let's see if it gets them to act.
