Almost everyone has a phone( except me) and it's your social life in a box. You have all of your friend's numbers, texts, pics and other personal stuff in there. But what if the government could just access it? Well, they can.
Most cellphone carriers have places where they store everything their customer has ever done on there phone. And the government, for a fee, can access those places. The average rate is about $500 a text or pic and about $1000 a call.
So is it illegal? Yes and no.
Yes it normally is illegal for phone companies to sell your information. It's in the contract you signed. But also in the contract it mentions a law, a law that says that the police or any other government official can access it if they have enough proof to say they need to see your stuff. But this is a pretty stupid rule, because phone companies will let just about anything pass for " proof".
So is there anything you can do? Not really, as long as you don't do anything dumb.
What else is untrustworthy in your life? Comment.
