{{main|Hemisphere Project}}
The company maintains a database of [[call detail record]]s of all telephone calls that have passed through its network since 1987. AT&T employees work at [[High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area]] offices (operated by the [[Office of National Drug Control Policy]]) in [[Los Angeles]], [[Atlanta]], and [[Houston]] so data can be quickly turned over to law enforcement agencies. Records are requested via an administrative subpoena, without the involvement of a court or grand jury.
=== Censorship ===
In September 2007, AT&T changed its legal policy to state that "AT&T may immediately terminate or suspend all or a portion of your Service, any Member ID, electronic mail address, IP address, Universal Resource Locator or domain name used by you, without notice for conduct that AT&T believes ...

[[File:Page9-SER klein exhibits.jpg|thumb|Diagram of how alleged wiretapping worked, from [[Electronic Frontier Foundation|EFF]] court filings<ref name=kleinex/>]]
In 2006, the Electronic Frontier Foundation lodged the [[class action]] lawsuit ''Hepting v. AT&T'', which alleged that AT&T had allowed agents of the [[National Security Agency]] (NSA) to monitor phone and Internet communications of AT&T customers without warrants. If true, this would violate the [[Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act]] of 1978 and the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First]] and [[Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fourth Amendments]] of the [[United States Constitution|U.S. Constitution]]. AT&T has yet to confirm or deny that monitoring by the NSA is occurring. In April 2006, retired former AT&T technician Mark Klein lodged an [[affidavit]] supporting this allegation.<ref>{{cite news|last=Nakashima|first=Ellen|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/07/AR2007110700006_pf.html|title=A Story of Surveillance|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101119082703/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/07/AR2007110700006_pf.html |archive-date=November 19, 2010|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|date=November 7, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Singel |first=Ryan |date=April 7, 2006 |title=Whistle-Blower Outs NSA Spy Room |magazine=Wired |url=https://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/04/70619 |url-status=live |access-date=September 29, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080430142924/http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/04/70619 |archive-date=April 30, 2008}}</ref> The Department of Justice stated it would intervene in this lawsuit by means of [[State Secrets Privilege]].<ref>{{Cite press release |title=Government Moves to Intervene in AT&T Surveillance Case |date=April 28, 2006 |website=Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) |url=https://www.eff.org/news/archives/2006_04.php#004613 |access-date=September 29, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929123042/http://www.eff.org/news/archives/2006_04.php#004613 |archive-date=September 29, 2007 }}</ref>
In July 2006, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California – in which the suit was filed – rejected a federal government motion to dismiss the case. The motion to dismiss, which invoked the State Secrets Privilege, had argued that any court review of the alleged partnership between the federal government and AT&T would harm national security. The case was immediately appealed to the Ninth Circuit. It was dismissed on June 3, 2009, citing retroactive legislation in the [[FISA Amendments Act|Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act]].<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.eff.org/cases/hepting |title= Hepting v.

=== Discrimination against local public-access television channels ===

According to Barbara Popovic, executive director of the Chicago public-access service [[Chicago Access Network Television|CAN-TV]], the new AT&T [[U-verse]] system forced all [[Public-access television]] into a special menu system, denying normal functionality such as channel numbers, access to the standard [[program guide]], and DVR recording.<ref name="dn10" /> The Ratepayer Advocates division of the [[California Public Utilities Commission]] reported: "Instead of putting the stations on individual channels, AT&T has bundled community stations into a generic channel that can only be navigated through a complex and lengthy process."<ref name="dn10" />

=== Accusations of enabling fraud ===
In March 2012, the United States federal government announced a lawsuit against AT&T. The specific accusations state that AT&T "violated the False Claims Act by facilitating and seeking federal payment for IP Relay calls by international callers who were ineligible for the service and sought to use it for fraudulent purposes. The complaint alleges that, out of fears that fraudulent call volume would drop after the registration deadline, AT&T knowingly adopted a non-compliant registration system that did not verify whether the user was located within the United States. The complaint further contends that AT&T continued to employ this system even with the knowledge that it facilitated the use of IP Relay by fraudulent foreign callers, which accounted for up to 95 percent of AT&T's call volume. The government's complaint alleges that AT&T improperly billed the TRS Fund for reimbursement of these calls and received millions of dollars in federal payments as a result."<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 22, 2012 |title=Welcome to the United States Department of Justice |url=https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2012/March/12-civ-357.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120519015822/http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2012/March/12-civ-357.html |archive-date=May 19, 2012 |access-date=May 11, 2012 |website=United States Department of Justice}}</ref> In 2013, AT&T entered into a consent decree with the FCC and paid a total of $21.75 million.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/att-agrees-settle-allegations-involving-ip-relay-services-provided-hearing-and-speech |title= AT&T Agrees to Settle Allegations Involving IP Relay Services Provided to Hearing- and Speech-Impaired Persons |date= November 7, 2013 |website= [[United States Department of Justice]] |access-date= March 23, 2021 |quote= On May 7, 2013, AT&T entered into a consent decree with the FCC that resolved allegations based on conduct related to the subject matter of today's settlement.

Slator had been involved in organizing AT&T's planned $48.5 billion acquisition of DirecTV since 2014, and he claimed that when news headlines speculated that his text messages could prevent the acquisition from going through, he was fired as a "scapegoat" by company executives. He also claimed that the executives had known about the text messages since at least late 2013, and had promised him at the time that he would not be fired for them.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Garrett |first=Arnessa |date=January 25, 2017 |title=AT&T sued by exec who was fired over racist text |work=The Dallas Morning News |url=https://www.dallasnews.com/business/local-companies/2017/01/25/att-sued-by-exec-who-was-fired-over-racist-text/ |access-date=May 20, 2020 |archive-date=July 26, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200726102837/https://www.dallasnews.com/business/local-companies/2017/01/25/att-sued-by-exec-who-was-fired-over-racist-text/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Robb |first=David |date=January 24, 2017 |title=Former AT&T Content President Files Wrongful Termination Suit, Claims He Was Fired To Save DirecTV Merger |work=[[Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]] |url=https://deadline.com/2017/01/lawsuit-attt-directv-aaron-slator-sues-for-wrongful-termination-1201892998/ |access-date=May 20, 2020 |archive-date=July 26, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200726102611/https://deadline.com/2017/01/lawsuit-attt-directv-aaron-slator-sues-for-wrongful-termination-1201892998/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The company stood by its decision to terminate Slator.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.dallasnews.com/business/local-companies/2017/01/25/att-sued-by-exec-who-was-fired-over-racist-text/ |title= AT&T sued by exec who was fired over racist text |newspaper= [[The Dallas Morning News]] |date= January 24, 2017 |access-date= March 23, 2021 |quote= "Diversity and inclusion are important core values to us," the statement said.

{{main|Hemisphere Project}}
The company maintains a database of [[call detail record]]s of all telephone calls that have passed through its network since 1987. AT&T employees work at [[High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area]] offices (operated by the [[Office of National Drug Control Policy]]) in [[Los Angeles]], [[Atlanta]], and [[Houston]] so data can be quickly turned over to law enforcement agencies. Records are requested via an administrative subpoena, without the involvement of a court or grand jury.
=== Censorship ===
In September 2007, AT&T changed its legal policy to state that "AT&T may immediately terminate or suspend all or a portion of your Service, any Member ID, electronic mail address, IP address, Universal Resource Locator or domain name used by you, without notice for conduct that AT&T believes ...

[[File:Page9-SER klein exhibits.jpg|thumb|Diagram of how alleged wiretapping worked, from [[Electronic Frontier Foundation|EFF]] court filings<ref name=kleinex/>]]
In 2006, the Electronic Frontier Foundation lodged the [[class action]] lawsuit ''Hepting v. AT&T'', which alleged that AT&T had allowed agents of the [[National Security Agency]] (NSA) to monitor phone and Internet communications of AT&T customers without warrants. If true, this would violate the [[Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act]] of 1978 and the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First]] and [[Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fourth Amendments]] of the [[United States Constitution|U.S. Constitution]]. AT&T has yet to confirm or deny that monitoring by the NSA is occurring. In April 2006, retired former AT&T technician Mark Klein lodged an [[affidavit]] supporting this allegation.<ref>{{cite news|last=Nakashima|first=Ellen|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/07/AR2007110700006_pf.html|title=A Story of Surveillance|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101119082703/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/07/AR2007110700006_pf.html |archive-date=November 19, 2010|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|date=November 7, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Singel |first=Ryan |date=April 7, 2006 |title=Whistle-Blower Outs NSA Spy Room |magazine=Wired |url=https://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/04/70619 |url-status=live |access-date=September 29, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080430142924/http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/04/70619 |archive-date=April 30, 2008}}</ref> The Department of Justice stated it would intervene in this lawsuit by means of [[State Secrets Privilege]].<ref>{{Cite press release |title=Government Moves to Intervene in AT&T Surveillance Case |date=April 28, 2006 |website=Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) |url=https://www.eff.org/news/archives/2006_04.php#004613 |access-date=September 29, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929123042/http://www.eff.org/news/archives/2006_04.php#004613 |archive-date=September 29, 2007 }}</ref>
In July 2006, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California – in which the suit was filed – rejected a federal government motion to dismiss the case. The motion to dismiss, which invoked the State Secrets Privilege, had argued that any court review of the alleged partnership between the federal government and AT&T would harm national security. The case was immediately appealed to the Ninth Circuit. It was dismissed on June 3, 2009, citing retroactive legislation in the [[FISA Amendments Act|Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act]].<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.eff.org/cases/hepting |title= Hepting v.

Under AT&T's current copyright enforcement program, content owners may notify AT&T when they allege unlawful sharing of material. The program is based on IP addresses visible to content owners in peer-to-peer networks, not on filtering. AT&T has terminated the broadband service of some customers accused of copyright infringement.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/11/att-boots-customers-off-broadband-network-to-fight-piracy/ |title= AT&T steps up copyright enforcement, kicks customers off network |work= [[Ars Technica]] |date= November 6, 2018 |access-date= March 23, 2021 |quote= Content owners notified us when they believed they had evidence that an Internet account was sharing copyrighted material unlawfully.

=== Discrimination against local public-access television channels ===
In 2009 AT&T was accused by [[community media]] groups of discriminating against local [[public, educational, and government access]] (PEG) cable TV channels, by "impictions that will severely restrict the audience".<ref name="dn10">{{cite web|date=March 9, 2009|url=http://www.democracynow.org/2009/3/9/at_t_accused_of_discriminating_against|title=AT&T Accused of Discriminating Against Local Public Access Channels, Deadline for Public Comment Expires Tonight|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090312075258/http://www.democracynow.org/2009/3/9/at_t_accused_of_discriminating_against|archive-date=March 12, 2009|website=Democracy Now!|access-date=March 13, 2009}}</ref>
According to Barbara Popovic, executive director of the Chicago public-access service [[Chicago Access Network Television|CAN-TV]], the new AT&T [[U-verse]] system forced all [[Public-access television]] into a special menu system, denying normal functionality such as channel numbers, access to the standard [[program guide]], and DVR recording.<ref name="dn10" /> The Ratepayer Advocates division of the [[California Public Utilities Commission]] reported: "Instead of putting the stations on individual channels, AT&T has bundled community stations into a generic channel that can only be navigated through a complex and lengthy process."<ref name="dn10" />
Sue Buske (president of telecommunications consulting firm the Buske Group and a former head of the National Federation of Local Cable Programmers/[[Alliance for Community Media]]) argue that this is "an overall attack [...] on public access across the [United States], the place in the dial around cities and communities where people can make their own media in their own communities".<ref name="dn10" />
=== Information security ===
In June 2010, a [[hacker group]] known as [[Goatse Security]] discovered a [[Vulnerability (computing)|vulnerability]] within AT&T that could allow anyone to uncover email addresses belonging to customers of AT&T 3G service for the [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] [[iPad]].<ref name="computerworld1">{{Cite news |last=Keizer |first=Gregg |date=June 10, 2010 |title='Brute force' script snatched iPad e-mail addresses |work=[[Computerworld]] |url=http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9177921/Brute_force_script_snatched_iPad_e_mail_addresses |access-date=September 18, 2010}}</ref> These email addresses could be accessed without a protective password.<ref name="computerworld2-2">{{Cite news |last=Keizer |first=Gregg |date=June 11, 2010 |title=iPad e-mail hackers defend attack as 'ethical' |page=2 |work=[[Computerworld]] |url=http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9177991/iPad_e_mail_hackers_defend_attack_as_ethical_?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=2 |url-status=live |access-date=September 25, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302073447/http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9177991/iPad_e_mail_hackers_defend_attack_as_ethical_?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=2 |archive-date=March 2, 2012}}</ref> Using a script, Goatse Security collected thousands of email addresses from AT&T.<ref name="computerworld1" /> Goatse Security informed AT&T about the security flaw through a third party.<ref name="computerworld2-1">{{Cite news |last=Keizer |first=Gregg |date=June 11, 2010 |title=iPad e-mail hackers defend attack as 'ethical' |page=1 |work=[[Computerworld]] |url=http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9177991/iPad_e_mail_hackers_defend_attack_as_ethical_ |url-status=live |access-date=September 25, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120119211317/http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9177991/iPad_e_mail_hackers_defend_attack_as_ethical_ |archive-date=January 19, 2012}}</ref> Goatse Security then disclosed around 114,000 of these emails to [[Gawker Media]], which published an article about the security flaw and disclosure in ''[[Valleywag]]''.<ref name="computerworld1" /><ref name="computerworld2-1" /> Praetorian Security Group criticized the web application that Goatse Security exploited as "poorly designed".<ref name="computerworld1" />
In April 2015, AT&T was fined $25 million over data security breaches, marking the largest ever fine issued by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) for breaking data privacy laws.

=== Accusations of enabling fraud ===
In March 2012, the United States federal government announced a lawsuit against AT&T. The specific accusations state that AT&T "violated the False Claims Act by facilitating and seeking federal payment for IP Relay calls by international callers who were ineligible for the service and sought to use it for fraudulent purposes. The complaint alleges that, out of fears that fraudulent call volume would drop after the registration deadline, AT&T knowingly adopted a non-compliant registration system that did not verify whether the user was located within the United States. The complaint further contends that AT&T continued to employ this system even with the knowledge that it facilitated the use of IP Relay by fraudulent foreign callers, which accounted for up to 95 percent of AT&T's call volume. The government's complaint alleges that AT&T improperly billed the TRS Fund for reimbursement of these calls and received millions of dollars in federal payments as a result."<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 22, 2012 |title=Welcome to the United States Department of Justice |url=https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2012/March/12-civ-357.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120519015822/http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2012/March/12-civ-357.html |archive-date=May 19, 2012 |access-date=May 11, 2012 |website=United States Department of Justice}}</ref> In 2013, AT&T entered into a consent decree with the FCC and paid a total of $21.75 million.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/att-agrees-settle-allegations-involving-ip-relay-services-provided-hearing-and-speech |title= AT&T Agrees to Settle Allegations Involving IP Relay Services Provided to Hearing- and Speech-Impaired Persons |date= November 7, 2013 |website= [[United States Department of Justice]] |access-date= March 23, 2021 |quote= On May 7, 2013, AT&T entered into a consent decree with the FCC that resolved allegations based on conduct related to the subject matter of today's settlement.

A year later, the new AT&T bought BellSouth, yet another Baby Bell. The new AT&T also bought Cingular Wireless in 2006 -- a company jointly run by Baby Bells SBC and BellSouth that had bought the old AT&T Wireless in 2004.

<p>In 2006, the Electronic Frontier Foundation lodged the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_action" title="Class action">class action</a> lawsuit <i>Hepting v.

If true, this would violate the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Act" title="Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act">Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act</a> of 1978 and the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="First Amendment to the United States Constitution">First</a> and <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution">Fourth Amendments</a> of the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Constitution">U.S. Constitution</a>.

In April 2006, retired former AT&T technician Mark Klein lodged an <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affidavit" title="Affidavit">affidavit</a> supporting this allegation.<sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a></sup> The Department of Justice stated it would intervene in this lawsuit by means of <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Secrets_Privilege" class="mw-redirect" title="State Secrets Privilege">State Secrets Privilege</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-46" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a></sup>
</p><p>In July 2006, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California – in which the suit was filed – rejected a federal government motion to dismiss the case. The motion to dismiss, which invoked the State Secrets Privilege, had argued that any court review of the alleged partnership between the federal government and AT&T would harm national security. The case was immediately appealed to the Ninth Circuit. It was dismissed on June 3, 2009, citing retroactive legislation in the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FISA_Amendments_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="FISA Amendments Act">Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-47" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a></sup>

<p>In March 2012, the United States federal government announced a lawsuit against AT&T. The specific accusations state that AT&T "violated the False Claims Act by facilitating and seeking federal payment for IP Relay calls by international callers who were ineligible for the service and sought to use it for fraudulent purposes. The complaint alleges that, out of fears that fraudulent call volume would drop after the registration deadline, AT&T knowingly adopted a non-compliant registration system that did not verify whether the user was located within the United States. The complaint further contends that AT&T continued to employ this system even with the knowledge that it facilitated the use of IP Relay by fraudulent foreign callers, which accounted for up to 95 percent of AT&T's call volume. The government's complaint alleges that AT&T improperly billed the TRS Fund for reimbursement of these calls and received millions of dollars in federal payments as a result."<sup id="cite_ref-67" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a></sup> In 2013, AT&T entered into a consent decree with the FCC and paid a total of $21.75 million.<sup id="cite_ref-68" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a></sup>

None of the other carriers keep texts at all, but they keep records of who texted who for more than a year. The document says AT&T keeps for five to seven years a record of who text messages who —and when, but not the content of the messages.
