Angry about NSA phone spying?

[petardier]

There is something you can do - file an ethics complaint on Verizon. You can do that by calling this number:

800-856-1885

Please note: Verizon isn't the company that runs this phone numbers; it's a third party so there's no point in being rude the them.

You'll be given a case number and (supposedly) a response within 3 business days. Call and let them know you think it's unethical for Verizon to give your information to the government without a warrant.

I did this. It took 5 minutes. You don't even have to identify yourself (but I did). I've got a case number and I'll let you know what I get for a response.

There are also some class action lawsuits developing. I'm considering whether it might be worth joining. I am not interested in the money at all, but I do want Verizon to know I'm unhappy with their behavior.

That's changed since last week. There was no menu choice then; the phone rang straight through to a person. Clearly they're getting a lot of calls.

I'll be interested to see if their reply is similar to what you cite. It seems pretty clear this wasn't compelled since Quest said no data without a warrant at which point the request was mysteriously dropped.
