Given that it’s alleged that AT&T funnels absolutely all of your phone and Internet data directly to the NSA without a warrant or oversight, their marketing decision to make light of those worried about privacy in a new ad for online billing has bloggers complaining (see Boing Boing, GigaOM, Consumerist) about poor taste. Honestly it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, though AT&T’s marketing probably should have chosen a different subject to make light of given the national debate.

Besides, I always say that if you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got no reason to fear the government shock troops in their shiny black body armor — currently downstairs embedding an HSDPA-supported monitoring chip in junior’s skull.
