BellSouth/ATT: Making It Really Easy To Rat You Out
August 22nd, 2007
Not that I am doing anything wrong or have anything to worry about, but BellSouth/ATT has made it very easy to rat me out. I did a quick whois on my IP Address, and noticed two interesting things
- A very easy way to report any of my abuse
- A very easy way to request a subpoena for my records (how wonderful for you government types)
