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.

If they were my provider I would do exactly that.
But since they aren't...

If you call the number you get a recording asking if you want to report a concern about customer privacy. If you press 1 as the recording directs, you get a recording about how "since the case is highly classified, Verizon can not even comment on if the news story causing concern is even accurate." and such nonsense.
