talk help: My friend is paranoid that when we talk over the phone, the government is listening to every word we say.. - Help.com

No, there isn’t.

It is very expensive and difficult to tap a phone. They’d wire somebody before they’d tap your phone.

Yes, of cause they are listening, but they will not do anything.
You should be more worried about Google keeping a record of everything you do and where you go on the net.

Well which is it?/ I would think to listen to everybody’s phone line would be near impossible

bizarre.

All phone calls in the UK are recorded, however unless you are phoned or phone suspicious numbers the calls are not heard. As for the USA, if it’s done in the UK it’s done far more in the US. Have a nice day.

They have the ability to listen to any & all phone calls, they can access any calls at any time, although they aren’t really interested in two friends talking about what shoes to wear for a night out next week.

There is a theory that they can tap your phone even when your phone isn’t in use.

why would the government care about what you and your friend are talking about?

Just because they can. It is beyond “why,” beyond reason … They can and do record EVERYTHING now.
