For as
little as $300, an investigative reporter was able to hire a bounty
hunter to track down the exact location of his cell phone in real
time. If you're wondering how this could possibly happen, the answer
is simple ... because cell phone companies are selling this data, and
it's being re-sold over and over again.
This
incredible disregard for personal information could put your
identity, your finances and even your safety in danger. Just imagine
what a stalker, an abusive ex, or anyone with an ax to grind might do
with this sensitive data.
Several
senators have called for an investigation into this matter, but we
all know that Ajit Pai and the telecom companies will be pushing hard
to make sure that doesn't happen. So add your name to our petition
and tell lawmakers: "My cell phone company should not be able
to sell my location or my personal data. Congress and the FCC should
investigate this immediately."
