This is an update to an earlier story about Locatecell. In response to disclosures about phone records being sold on the Internet, politicians want federal regulators to verify that the biggest service providers are adequately protecting their customers' information. Locatecell.com was offline Thursday, its site replaced with a message from GoDaddy.com asking the site's owner to call the domain registrar. Meanwhile, Celltolls.com had a note on its site saying that it was not currently accepting queries regarding Cingular Wireless phone numbers.
Occasionally, Congress works? |

This is fucking hilarious. "Hey, my constituents are bombing the hell out of me about their cell phone records being made public. No one wants to get busted for having that affair or that late night hook up with the girl in accounting!" but it's okay to spy on our own populace. As long as they're camel jockeys or someone who might wear pachouli. |

Occasionally, Congress works? I thought it was funny how many congressman acted so fast to get on this - clearly a sign they REALLY wanted to protect THEIR OWN phone records! |
There is a redundant post from Rattle not displayed in this view.
