Hi, i have friend who is getting horrible messages from a strange number, really abusive messages, we don’t know the number and no-one of her friends know this number.
Can you do anything for her?

The problem is it can be abused. Someone can plant a mobile phone in (or under) your car and stalk your every move. And you’ll never know anything about it. Does this mobile phone tracking service exist yet in Ireland? It does in the UK – not sure about Ireland. If so, who provides it?

I cant see what the problem is regarding this system.

To reject this service would be ashame and nothing more than
banana republicism

Our company have have made good profit for the last twenty years without tracking.\

they installed satellite tracking on the vans without telling the workers about twelve mounths ago.
four of the good workers jacked up.

They will not put tracking on my phone as i will turn it off and not use it.
This is only going to be used by incompetant managers to blame workers for not conforming to the stazi paddies greed.

We have to work harder while the managers sit on their holes watching us on P.C.s. and getting higher wages.

[...] My response to this argument was to point out that the expectation of society as to the acceptable standards of conduct are expressed in law, both statute and judicial. Just because a product or service meets or exceeds the expectations of a targetted customer it does not mean that it can be produced if the laws of society would preclude it. A good example of this is the location tracking tools that were being deployed by a Dublin security company. The prompt action of Digital Rights Ireland in alerting the Data Protection Commissioner resulted in the expectation of society of privacy (albeit curtailed somewhat for children) was asserted and the product had to be withdrawn.

The Data Protections Commissioner’s comments don’t seem to have quite gotten through to the promoters of this service, who are proudly displaying the press attention here:

[...] 2. What assurance does the user have that the information will be stored securely? This service surely goes against Data Protection Commission. As the DRI mention, “There are protections in place precisely to prevent personal private data being sold for third party profit in this way.” [...]
