I am wondering if it is all phone companies or just Verizon and why just Verizon?  I am a Verizon customer and wonder why Verizon never let me know.  Or did they do it in a hidden legal mumbo jumbo way which actually kept it secret as no one understood the language they used to inform us.  Wow.  Does this constitute a broken contract with my privacy and can I consider the Verizon contract broken?  As to the New York Times "lost all credibility" statement, creates amusement in me.  They actually finally identified a "straw that broke the devotees back". That this is the first that they examined the unconstitutional actions of the POTUS.   That they will actually start being unbiased media remains to be seem.
