Default Privacy and Google!

I just finished checking out a few phone numbers and found all of this information to be accurate.

This is valid information............. Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given the person's name and address. If you then hit Map at the end of your address, you will get a map to the person's house. Everyone should be aware of this! It's a nationwide reverse telephone book. If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming. Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my number and it came up along with the mapquest and directions straight to my house. I did fill out the removal for myself, and encourage all of you to do the same. Quite scary. Please look up your number. In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to : Google http://www.google.com. Type your phone number in the search bar (in this format 555-555-5555) and hit enter. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on your telephone number and then click on the removal form. Removal takes 48-hours. Check you own number and although this may not apply to you if you have unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact, you may know someone who needs to know this. Please share this information with friends and family .
