CONGRESS ORDERED TELEPHONE COMPANIES ALL MUST DO THAT AGES AGO
It was enacted by BILL CLINTON and it is a chinese policy. Phone companies filed suit that they shouldn't have to do it and certainly shouldn't have to pay for it.
BILL CLINTON also enacted the "thought police", arresting people for crimes they were considering doing (beyond planning armed bank robbery which already was illegal). THIS ALSO IS A CHINA POLICY. People began arresting people for what "they thought they were thinking" after that.
IT BECAME KNOWN AFTER THAT PHONE COMPANIES LISTEN TO PHONES THAT ARE TURNED OFF - so many evidences in court came in claiming the perp had "mistakenly dialed police" that people just knew
IT THEN ALSO became known that ASIAN MADE CABLE TV BOXES had physical microphones inside them and were used for eves dropping as well, that the cable tv provider (like cox, 1/2 owned by bill gates?)
THE FCC (also SEC) has only been a factory of excuses for some decades now.
