    Since they say this will work even when only one side is a TM customer, it's clear they can tap conversations at will. This should surprise nobody since they are an ersatz "phone company", but keep in mind that under the Trump Gestapo regime, a simple friendly call to a billionaire is enough to get anything he wants from Big Tech.

      @lauren Lauren, they've been required to have tapping ability for >30 years. The US law is called CALEA—Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act—but under the generic name of "lawful intercept", it's required in most of the world. (And this is more like a hybrid conference call.)

        @lauren All telecommunications providers operating in the US MUST support CALEA. They can already listen to your calls and read your texts--they've had that capability ever since their beginning decades ago.

          @lattera The point is not the existence of CALEA or the technical ability to monitor calls and data -- it's the conditions under which these firms happily do so when not required by law to do so. Like #Google handing over personal data these days in response to administrative actions that do NOT require them to do so. They used to fight back against this kind of s*it, but under billionaire Trump-lovin' CEO Sundar they're in fascist Trump's pocket, apparently.
