Hello ATS,

Talk about invading our privacy!!!

I just wanted to let you know that anyone can look you up on www.spokeo.com. It's an online phone book that has a picture of you from social networks, credit score, profession, age, how many people live in the house, etc. but you can remove your name from their listing if you go to the bottom of the page and click on the privacy link.


Checked on snopes.com and it's true.
www.snopes.com...

Even if you click on the privacy link it may only take it off Spokeo for a week or two. There is no way to stop it. Spokeo just collects information from other sites. When Spokeo polls other sites it re-collects all the data again. You will have to go there every couple of weeks for the rest of your life if you want the information off.

While I personally checked this site, the information they had for me was 90% wrong, however, when I searched with my email address, several pictures of me did in fact come up.

You can go to Google earth and see everyone's house from a street view now. I guess the age of privacy is gone. Maybe Big Brother is finally here??

Your thoughts on this invasion of privacy??

They had my zodiac sign wrong along with a lot of other information. They also had a friend of mine who is 40 something as being in her 70's!!

It makes me wonder what other sites are out there that we may not be aware of that may just indeed have all of our correct information along with other personal issues........how about this new healthcare reform where everything may or may not be online??

((shudder))
