To be fair I trust AT&T about the same (not very much) the difference is that for me (a US citizen) one is local and the other is foreign.

Wouldn’t put it past most large telcos to do a little targeted spying.

Wouldn't a local threat be more dangerous than a foreign one?

Exactly why I trust China with my sensitive data. They won’t cough it up to any random US government agency that just asks for it!

Most cell providers sell your location info to a third party broker to pad earnings. Then it gets resold in smaller and smaller amounts down the chain.

If your crazy ex wants to know where you were last night, they can jump in a telegram group run by someone at a PI firm reselling their access on the side and it'll cost less than your dinner did.
