Here's a page on how to remove your personal info off google. Today I was bored and decided to google myself. Though my phone number is not shown right on google, I very quickly found a site where it can be accessed for $2.
I'm LUCKY. I saw people's phone numbers shown for free on some of the sites I looked at, and naturally was worried. There are soime serious LOSERS on the internet, who think it's fun to get people's phone numbers and personal information, and ruint heir lives with it. To some, it doesn't matter who.
Even worse, I have seen and know of anonymous forums on the internet where people go on there with no username and post other people's personal information out to random people, and then those random people call that number, and harass the person until they commit suicide, and all the people on these creepy forums think it's hilarious.
Even worse, law enforcement doesn't know about it because these anonymous forums delete everything after a while to save space; as for user logs, maybe it would have the IP, but someone would have to call up law enforcement and have taken a screenshot of the thread where they saw the user's details.
It's really lame, I know you don't want to believe it, but it's real. I have one such screenshot and could prove it (but I'd censor the poor dude's details), but first, I'm going to call the local police of the person who's number was listed and tell them where those retards got that number, and that they should go over to his house to see if he killed himself or no.
