Are Phone Lookup Services Unethical?
With so much demand for services that can lookup unlisted phone numbers for you, there are bound to be some people that don’t like the idea of these types of things.
Basically, a cell/unlisted phone lookup service allows you to enter any phone number in america, and then find all about the owner. Typically, they’ll spit you back the owners name, address, gender and more. It is understandable that some people don’t like their details being in databases like this.
Still, there are many legitimate reasons why someone would want to lookup a phone number. I believe the best thing for phone lookup services is to allow people to request for their details to be taken out of the database. This way, 99.9% (or more) of the records still exist, but if someone really doesn’t want their details in the database, then they can be taken out.
