AS if President Obama doesn’t have enough integrity problems: a new report indicates the Obama administration strong armed wireless communications company Verizon into releasing telephonic data on every Verizon customer.
And don’t think they stopped there; the Obama administration may have secretly pressured other cell phone companies to ante up the data on their customers. This means Obama may have your cell phone numbers, contact list, text messages and your emails.
According to a report in Britain’s Guardian newspaper, the National Security Agency, under the auspices of President Obama, ordered Verizon “to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the U.S. and between the U.S. and other countries.”
The Associated Press reports that Verizon listed 121 million customers in its first-quarter earnings report this April.
From The Associated Press:
Under the terms of the order, the phone numbers of both parties on a call are handed over, as are location data, call duration, unique identifiers, and the time and duration of all calls. The contents of the conversation itself are not covered, The Guardian said.
The FISA court order, signed by Judge Roger Vinson, compelled Verizon to provide the NSA with electronic copies of “all call detail records or telephony metadata created by Verizon for communications between the United States and abroad” or “wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls,” The Guardian said.
