They have to justify and utilize that Data Collection Center in Utah somehow.

White House Surveillance Program Lets Law Enforcement Snoop on *Trillions* of American Phone Records


A secretive surveillance initiative, managed by the White House, grants law enforcement agencies unprecedented access to trillions of American phone records, raising significant privacy and legal concerns.

A Wired investigation has revealed a secret White House surveillance program that permits federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to access an extensive array of U.S. phone records. Known as Data Analytical Services (DAS), this program functions in partnership with telecom giant AT&T, offering a comprehensive analysis of American call records to law enforcement agencies at all levels of government. This deal not only involves direct phone contacts of criminal suspects but extends to their social networks as well, snooping on individuals who have not been suspected of any criminal activity at all.

Nothing new under the sun. AT&T has been famous for this in their San Francisco brutalist building.

Snowden warned of this years ago but was largely excoriated for his leaks.

But read the fine print of your carrier agreement. These records are “proprietary business data” and you agree to the fact that carriers can do whatever they want with it, including all manner of analytics as well as mining and selling data — including to the government. Consumers willingly sign away these rights when they sign a contract. Few likely ever read the text to which they are agreeing. That’s your own fault.

You can use apps with full forward secrecy like WhatsApp or Signal but for all the solid encryption they provide, all a bad actor needs to do is slip a rogue keyboard driver between the app and operating system and no breaking of encryption necessary.
