Who Knows What - About YOU?
|
Personal
Privacy:
Who knows What
about You??
Suppose there were a website
that allowed someone - anyone
with web access - to find out
the following information about
you...
-
addresses where you live or
have lived over the past 10
years or so;
-
your phone numbers were
(unlisted or not)
-
and what year you were born.
The
website could also let them
click on your address, access an
overhead satellite photo of your
neighborhood, and even zoom in
on your particular house.
Would
such a website be legal? Yes -
and, though many people may not
know it, it already exists ...
and it's FREE!
It's
called
Zabasearch.com,
and it's legal because,
according to the site, its data
come from publicly available
government records and
commercial sources.
For a brief discussion about the
legality of this type of site,

on Privacy Invasion
