AT&T rewrites rules: Your data isn't yours
AT&T has issued an updated privacy policy that takes effect Friday. The changes are significant because they appear to give the telecom giant more latitude when it comes to sharing customers' personal data with government officials.
The new policy says that AT&T -- not customers -- owns customers' confidential info and can use it "to protect its legitimate business interests, safeguard others, or respond to legal process."
The policy also indicates that AT&T will track the viewing habits of customers of its new video service -- something that cable and satellite providers are prohibited from doing.

I understand their policy is now to (a) receive complaint (b) kowtow to complaint without evaluating it with own brain or listening to affected parties. Rrrgh. SixApart, you're like Jerry Lewis....
