Are Ordinary Americans Communications Exposed by AT&T Collaboration?
Yes. The lawsuit alleges that AT&T’s has provided the government with unfettered access to the communications records of ordinary Americans whose communications go through the AT&T network. Some individuals may be singled out for further investigation and more extensive wiretapping, but this case is not about specific targeted information that a court has ordered AT&T to produce, but rather wholesale access all communications records in the AT&T database and the information transiting AT&T’s compromised switches.
