Telecoms giants reportedly join tech firms in pushing back against NSA
http://j.mp/NoFUgN (Inside Bay Area / AP)
"The central pillar of Obama's plan to overhaul the surveillance
programs calls for shifting storage of Americans' phone data from the
government to telecom companies or an independent third party. But
telecoms don't want that job. Phone industry executives have
privately told administration officials they don't like the idea of
storing phone records gathered by the NSA because they don't want to
become the government's data minders. Companies say they are wary of
being forced to standardize their own data collection to conform to
the NSA's needs."
