NEW NEW NEW ARTICLE

Spokeo

Do you feel safe? Do you feel that your family’s information is safe? You’re wrong. A new website called “Spokeo.com” can tell you everything about anyone over 18. If you look up your parent’s name, it can tell you your house value, your neighborhood quality, if you own a pool, the ethnicity of the neighborhood, if you have central heating, central air conditioning, a description of your house, if you have a fireplace, your home value, your age, your ethnicity, occupation, even hobbies, your residence, gender, zodiac, if you have children, your education, if you own a home, how long you have been living in the home, and A LOT MORE. This is what we call creepy. You can try it; just type your parents name in the search box. Complaints have been said that this site invades their privacy, and has been sued numerous times. The site has been shut down plenty of times, but it is still running. Whether the site should be shut down permanently or not is still being considered.
