Letters were not read? Phone lines were not taped? I am just surprised to see so many people think that companies, hackers, government, etc feel that they have something being said important enough for the info to be valuable. You guys must lead some interesting lives since you have so many things to keep hidden. If Amazon wants to wade through millions of conversations to listen to my wife and I discuss the holes in my underwear they are welcome to the info.
I know that this is a contentious subject and I will not change anybody's thoughts but my opposing point of view is just as valid as anybody that falls for these conspiracy theories.

I understand that this is for fun. And nothing more than a verbal joust. I am not offended, nor does this make me think any different. Thank you for posting Tcoat. Without you, the forum would be less, not everyone can say that.
OK, on to the comments...
First of all. Yes, I do live a crazy life. And I don't want a listening device in my home. I live at the end of a road in the middle of Nowhere. Risk management is something that I think about all the time. You could call me "careful"
Second, It is the totality of the information being saved that is disturbing. Once it is saved. Who, when and where it gets used/brought up is the question. So many what ifs. Information is power.
Be careful with the convenience of technology being invasive on our Freedoms. It is a double edged sword.
