A British lawyer, Mark Lewis, wrote: "The News of the World had thousands of people they hacked. Some of them were in America at the time, either traveling or resident there," he said. The legal suits are being taken to the US on behalf of three alleged victims of phone hacking by the News of the World. To read more on this, click here.
Americans treasure their privacy. Having someone breach the security of their cell phones is very close to what raped women report. It is most uncomfortable to wonder what strangers out there who have tapped your phone might know or think about you..
It is believed that there were thousands of people who got hacked. In a world of pickpockets, identity theft, corporate espionage, and an atmosphere full of distrust and paranoia, going into other people's private areas is one large NO-NO! Perhaps it is time that Murdock's ruthless style is a problem best solved by many. We can try to be as cautious and careful but there will always bring out wonderful people who can not tolerate their privacy being invaded not the sense that they have no control of whether it is or not. Distrust and fear makes a lot of unhappy campers. Have you noticed?

If these charges can be proved, then News Corp has seriously violated our privacy. But there is an even larger violation of privacy: the Department of Justice warrant-less monitoring of cell phones. The ACLU reports on cell phone surveillance indicate that warrant-less government monitoring of mobile communication occurs far more frequently than News Corp. has ever been accused of, and DOJ wiretapping often has much more serious consequences than that of Fox News. As the EFF pointed out, Eric Holder has pressed for even less court oversight of electronic surveillance than the abysmal Bush administration. Eric Holder, a public servant who has taken an oath to uphold the constitution, deserves at least as much contempt as Rupert Murdock.
