"This piece will attempt to analyze the US Government’s Warrantless Wiretap Program utilizing open source information including A.T.&T. What I will attempt to show in this piece is how those lofty goals remain largely unrealized and how governments, under the guise of “security” are, in fact, using the Internet as a new, overarching and suffocating surveillance state to monitor, compile and track the personal and private lives of virtually everyone who uses modern telecommunications in any form."
