Suppose every telephone call you made was recorded by someone.

Imagine also that all of your calls are being kept by your carrier for a couple of years… then, when law enforcement said they wanted a copy of that recording… they could easily get it. 

Not cool, right?

An array of police chiefs from big cities around the country think that is very cool. 

Wireless carriers have already responded to more than a million law enforcement requests for subscriber information that includes location data.

In addition, law enforcement are asking for permission to collect your text messages.

To address some of this concern, Congress is now mulling changes to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act to limit access to cloud data. The amendments passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee would require a warrant to access electronic communications that are more than 180 days old (newer emails already require a warrant). 

Wait! Deleting your messages will not do the trick!  Messages stored on your cell  can be resurrected even after you clean your phone.

Will there be a time in the near future where all  devices will be monitored by a government agency?
