Enabling a stalker to find out his/her next target's home address, with pictures of the home, person, and other information provided. Disclosing important business information such as income, credit scores, etc. to employers, other entrepreneurs/businesses, etc. Providing a boss' information to an angered employee, a teacher's personal info. to his/her students (possible a hostile student after receiving a bad grade). All of these above scenarios are possible due to the website spokeo.com This site provides a person's entire life in a matter of 15 seconds by simply searching for them. Even if you're information and pictures are completely private on any social network, they are still accessible on Spokeo.com How is any of this possible or allowed? This needs to stop before someone gets hurt, whether it's emotionally or physically, or even worse, killed.

This website is so highly invasive!! I found out about it on tumblr and realized this may have been how the person who sexually assaulted me found me AGAIN even though I'd moved multiple times

I was sexually assaulted five years ago, and just found out that all of my past addresses and phone numbers, as well as my currents, are on this website. I do not want the one who assaulted me to find out where I am because of this site, or any like it.

I cannot possibly fathom how anyone could have thought this site was a good idea. Makes stalking, harassment, and potential physical attacks ridiculously easy to perpetrate. Like a resource guide for rapists and creeps.

Shut this site down-it is dangerous and people are getting hurt. I am tired of people stalking me.
