Beware of this website: They are violating privacy rights.
http://zabasearch.com/
One day while checking the news I noticed a story that explained the website Zabasearch.com
I performed a search on my old boy name and noticed that they had my address and phone number listed on it.
As a result of that my life is in danger. I have been trying to hide from an ex-wife for ten years (she was violent and abusive).
I have sent three emails requesting the site to remove the name and information.
They have not done that, which is a violation their own user terms.

This is a turn of the tide.
Website creators do not care about their constituents.
What will it take? lawsuit?
I am sick and fuckin tired of the whole country giving out my private information to anyone.
If it doesn't stop then a hack or a more aggressive preventive measure may be appropriate.

This is the email Jevin Hernadez wrote to me...
"Thank you for your email. I will have your information removed. The
process
may take a few days.

Sincerely,

Jevin Hernandez
Zabasearch, Inc."

.... but the information is still there.
Isn't this a time when the government should be trying to control behavior?
I do believe it is the job of the federal government to control behavior of corporations, entities, people and dotcom'ers.
If not then it will have to be the people.

Ain't nothing like the power of the people!
