Axiare Patrimonio SOCIMI : compra un edificio de oficinas en Madrid por 29,7 millones

Ever try Googling someone only to come up with basic information and maybe a link or two to an outdated social media profile? There's a new website going around that promises to reveal much more than what a simple google search can show you.

It seems like the further we move towards a digital age and surround ourselves with technology, the less privacy we have. With the revelations coming from Snowden and Wikileaks, it's no secret that the government has full access to all our data. Whether we like it or not, the days of digital privacy are over. Even worse yet, the United States Congress recently repealed consumer privacy laws that once protected citizens from having their private data publicly sold by their phone and internet service providers. This means anyone can openly and legally buy access to all your text messages, emails, as well as internet browser history.

This has allowed one controversial website called TruthFinder to enable anyone to have full access to someone's records with a few simple clicks. This company aggregates massive amounts of public and private records from phone companies to ISP's and conveniently allows users to search through them. They additionally provide data from social media accounts and even federal and state criminal court records.

To better understand just how TruthFinder works I decided to do a search on what information they had on myself. Much to my astonishment, the site provided everything it promised and more. All my social media accounts, e-mails, and phone numbers, were laid out in the open for anyone to dig through. I was shocked to see just how easily anyone could acquire all this information through a quick search on this website.

'All my social media accounts, e-mails, and phone numbers, were laid out in the open for anyone to dig through.'

Thankfully TruthFinder additionally features a record removal function that lets you formally request the removal of all your private data from the website. I was able to use this process, and not long after my request, all my data was erased from the site. Even with the ability to remove your data from being publicly accessed, the thought of this service being freely available to anyone on the internet is scary to say the least. It's no wonder TruthFinder has been responsible for so many divorces and failed relationships.

This service truly is a double edged sword, allowing both you and anyone else in the world to find out just what people are up to in their private digital life. Because of this, I highly recommend everyone search their name on TruthFinder and use the removal request feature. This will ensure any nosy individuals looking you up wouldn't be able to find out anything you'd prefer to keep private.

TruthFinder has its share of proponents and adversaries. Many are trying to rally congress to reinstate the consumer privacy laws, which once protected us from sites like TruthFinder. For now though, it seems as if their service is here to stay. Use of TruthFinder's services usually cost a monthly fee of 30 dollars but for a limited time they are allowing people free searches on their website to help publicize their service. We highly recommend you check out their site to make sure they aren't posting anything you'd rather keep from the publics prying eyes.
