Support Cell Phone Privacy

If you’ve ever had to wait in line at your local wireless store, you know how cell phone use has exploded over the past few years and wouldn’t be surprised to hear it has outpaced the use of residential landlines. Privacy laws, however, haven’t kept pace. In California, the law says telecoms can’t disclose phone records without the subscriber’s written consent, but this law only applies to residential and not cell phone subscribers. We want to change that.

Take action to tell your Assemblymember to support AB 3011. AB 3011 (Huffman, D-San Rafael) amends Public Utilities Code §2891 by deleting the word “residential” to clearly establish that the calling records and privacy of cell phone customers have the same protections as residential landline customers.

Take Action!
