(21,506 posts)This is data you submit willingly. This is not the same as someone coming into your house and searching it.
I agree there needs to be laws created regarding the use of publicly available data in our new digital age but the idea that data you give up willingly is somehow protected under the same laws as things you never reveal to outside people is silly.
Maybe we need better education on what data is being collected on us by third parties so that people are more aware of how to protect parts of their lives they dont want to be collected for whatever entity to use be it the government or some giant corporation.
If they were listening to the phone calls I would have a different opinion but Just looking at the call logs doesnt come close to the same thing IMHO.
