Being a CEO means, everyone is trying to get on your schedule to present their ideas, knowledge, presentations. Just think about it. He's not just any CEO, he's a famous billionaire CEO. He could learn more in a day than most of us can if he has the right people screening presenters.

You're absolutely right, don't let the downvotes tell you otherwise.

And it will change nothing. Corporations keeping it is no better than a spy agency keeping it. In fact it is worse for your privacy. Corporations can allow anyone to access your call records, while a spy agency has background checked agents with special auditing that look at any of your personal data. So it is much worse and the changes you guys are advocating is worse for privacy in the long run.

It should absolutely be deleted from corporate servers after being transferred to an intelligence agency for safekeeping.

So why did you think this was news worthy? The DEA disclosed it. It's not like it's illegal or immoral. It's like a document fell into your lap courtesy of the DEA and you decided this can be a story to make little teenaged redditors angry about their privacy.

Did you ever consider for one second before you wrote your article that international phone calls no matter where it is going or where it is coming from, there are spy agencies in TWO countries, looking at them and that it is perfectly legal and moral?

Consider this, you don't complain about Customs checking your bag randomly at a border. Yet somehow you complain about communications going in and out of the country? What's the difference, aren't both your bag and your comms private?

It doesn't matter. This will never change anything. You're just looking for pageviews, attention, and traffic.

Every phone call going in and out of the country has been monitored in many different ways by many agencies throughout history. It didn't start in 1992, and it won't end in 2015. Every country does it. Every spy agency in every country does it.

The US is in fact the only country that has protections for YOUR international calls, that's why they invented FISA and the FISA Court.
