De nieuwe Folder van de Telefoon valt Privacy binnen


Vrijdag, 12 Juni, 2009

Betaal een pond voor anoniem bedrijf om uw telefoonaantal te hebben

Technologie maar gebruikt voor kwaad? In een potentiële stap naar somber Grote Broer de toekomst, deze week ziet de lancering van de uk's eerste mobiele telefoonfolder.

Beginnend op Dinsdag 16 Juni, zal om het even welke Brit bereid om een pond te betalen het aantal van, en zal verbonden worden aan, één van de 16 miljoen telefoongebruikers in het gegevensbestand worden gegeven. Maar terwijl dat cijfer enkel 40 percent van de zaktelefoons vertegenwoordigt die momenteel in het UK worden gebruikt, heeft de lancering van de folder tot zorgen geleid op hoe de aantallen en wat nog belangrijker is, de invasie van mobiele gebruikers' privacy werden verzameld.

When the plan was first publicized, Connectivity, the company that created the directory, proudly announced that each and every potential subscriber would be contacted for their approval-that didn’t happen, and many critics are now claiming the entire directory was collected from market research data.

To add insult to injury, those who are currently in the directory must pay an opt-out fee and will have to wait around a month to be removed. As a mobile phone magazine, we respect the confidentiality of a user’s phone number and feel that trading it for profit is an obvious invasion of privacy. If you are part of the directory and want to opt out, head to 118800.uk or text the letter “E” to 118800.
