[Vision2020] New "Feature" in Google(privacy alert)

[Debbie Gray]

My phone number (208)882-3350 is listed with no address in our local
phonebook and there is no address listed on the google search, either. You
can do the same thing in the Yahoo Directory search by using the name. It
brings up phone number, address, maps. Just like a print phonebook (and
some of those have reverse look-ups for phone number-to-name searches)

If someone is mad at you or wants to stalk you, it's not that difficult.
