Google giving out addresses for phone numbers
Google.com has implemented a new feature wherein you can type
someone's telephone # into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given a map to their house. You can however have your # removed or blocked. I tested this and sure enough my address came up, and when I clicked on the mapquest link, a map came up with a star on my house. Unbelievable. Think about it, if a child or anyone gives out their # someone can find out exactly where they live. The safety issues are obvious and alarming. To test this go to www.google.com and type your # in the search bar and hit enter. If you want to block google from giving out your private info, simply click on phonebook results above your # and scroll down. I removed my name, but it takes about 48 hours. If your # is unlisted you might not be in there but it would be a good idea to check. You might want to pass this info on to friends & family. dragon |
