It is completely illegal and outrageous and should not exist. Delete this site !!! It mixes, without any previous consent from the concerned persons, their personal and professional information and publications, it extracts these pieces of information from their context, it mixes the pieces of information with those of homonyms. So, doing so, it hits the comminication strategies set up by the concerned persons, it violates the laws against data protection, it violates private life, it violates author rights.

If they don't remove my details very soon i'll be taking legal action against them. I don't mess around, i took the webmaster of a blog to court because he used my details and spammed people. I was compensated with a fair bit of cash and i know for a fact that 123people are in the wrong by using our info in this way. The difference between 123people and google is that google offer to give you a meta tag or a code so their crawlers will find your site/profile and put it in their search results where as 123people just save your details for what's basically a free people finding website. I wouldn't be surprised if the creator is doing business with debt collectors.. These people need a f***in good man slap.

Maja can try to sugarcoat it as much as she wants, but it boils down to a company that is exploiting others for a quick buck. You can try to contact them to remove your info, but it won't get you anywhere. You'll just get a automated response spouting similar verbiage to the drivel that Maja and her co-worker hide behind. I guess it helps them sleep better at night... but i bet Maja's personal info isn't displayed on their website. Otherwise i'm sure she would receive an endless stream of complaint emails and phone calls to her home number. Sad part is the search search results are pathetically inaccurate. It has me living in cities i've never even visited, and my age is wrong. What a laughable company. 123people is just another one of a long line of bottom feeders who sell people’s personal information online.

]]> Comment on The Way We Live Now – Going Offline in Search of Freedom by Jenna http://bradleykay.wordpress.com/2009/10/25/the-way-we-live-now-going-offline-in-search-of-freedom/#comment-592 Jenna Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:17:12 +0000 http://bradleykay.wordpress.com/2009/10/25/the-way-we-live-now-going-offline-in-search-of-freedom/#comment-592 Well, yes. But on the other hand, a cultural myth exists about the dangers of knowing too much; it's a myth that for Christian countries extends back to the bible. The tree of life is Jesus Christ (and salvation itself); the tree of knowledge is the Fall (and lifelong suffering). The story of the sirens is a reinforcement of that myth that too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. It's easy--too easy--to think of ready information access as a glut, and of too-eager engagement with that information as gluttony. But while that may very well be true of many of "us," we must recognize that for many, the increased access to information is empowering as a means of overthrowing civil oppression. From our man Freire himself: "Not infrequently, [people] call attention to 'the danger of conscientizacao' (learning to perceive social, political, and economic contradictions, and to take action against the oppressive elements of reality) in a way that reveals their own fear of freedom.... Doubt regarding the possible effects of conscientizacao implies a premise which the doubter does not always make explicit: It is better for the victims of injustice not to recognize themselves as such."
