There isn’t a marketer on this planet that doesn’t know more about you than you would believe... folks don’t understand how technology has made all this scattered information available to folks in seconds...
People enjoy their blissful ignorance about how much folks they will never meet know about them...This letter just unsettles folks by reminding them of something they’d rather ignore... it’s not going to help Cruz, but nothing about it is private.
You are so right, there is a little known world out there that some get to peek into from time to time.
As a retired telecommunications technician that has worked for IT&T, MCI, Sprint and Verizon, I have listened to thousands of private phone calls even in the wee hours of the morning just to stay awake on the midnight shift.
It is all OK because we were required to do that in order to detect and clear transmission problems or just to monitor trunks to listen for the last call on progress so a system could be taken out of service for maintenance.
