Texting may soon join the ranks of Facebook, Twitter, and other communication platforms that creepily record and permanently store all of your private interactions. Are you really all that surprised? If passed, a proposal being presented to Congress today would require all major wireless providers to capture and store customers’ SMS messages — meaning all […]
