According to a report by Glenn Greenwald in the U.K. Guardian, the NSA has been collecting phone call records of millions of Verizon users.
Many Twitter users suspect that other telecom carriers have been providing records to NSA, too.

If Verizon is being forced, under court order, to do this… you know all the other carriers are doing it… well… http://t.co/ebGM1inlyu

The sad irony of the #NSA news is that Verizon is the only one we know about. This has probably happened with all mobile carriers.

Is the NSA also collecting other forms of communication? Some Twitter users think so:
Good piece by @AdamSerwer wrt the NSA, Verizon & surely other carriers (and other means of communication): http://t.co/S2wajslUvh

@marcambinder Wonder if the NSA intercepted the email leaking the order….before it was publicly leaked

#NSA –> private emails, Google searches, parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital “pocket litter.”
