-- A privacy protection law now being crafted in the United Kingdom could result in fines costing billions for tech giants like Facebook and Google. Even today, few of Facebook's approximately two billion monthly users realize how easily their private information can be discovered by strangers.
As one of the world's leading Phone number search services, DigCaller is ready to help. With new features at its website detailing how to Hide phone number on facebook, the company also offers a valuable, privacy enhancing service that puts users in control even when their personal information leaks.
When a DigCaller user receives a call or text from an unknown number, a quick search of the company's vast database can pinpoint the party on the other end. Informed DigCaller users can better avoid the collateral damage that often arises due to the willingness of Facebook and others to make private phone numbers and other details so accessible to all.
"Facebook and other social networks make it easy to keep up with acquaintances and connect with people all over the world," said DigCaller representative Lauren Freeman "Unfortunately, that often means sacrificing privacy, and criminals and other nefarious people have long since caught on. Our service empowers users by making it clear when a call or text comes from someone who should better be ignored. We've also got plenty of helpful advice at our website regarding how to Remove phone number from facebook search and other privacy-enhancing tactics."
Although the United Kingdom is set to depart from the European Union following upon the successful "Brexit" referendum of last year, its leaders hope to do so in as harmonious a fashion as possible. With a new set of European Union data protection laws set to go into effect soon, legislators in the UK are now debating a corresponding Data Protection Bill for that country.
One key provision of the bill as it currently stands is that fines of as much as 4 percent of annual revenues could be levied against technology companies that fail to adequately safeguard the privacy and personal information of their users. The severity of these proposed punishments reflect what many now see as the high stakes established by how companies like Facebook and Google have so far handled such matters.
This is not to say that those concerned about protecting their own privacy need to give in. While the phone numbers and other personal information of most users are available with a simple search at Facebook, there are effective ways of both minimizing the associated risks and responding safely when criminals and other undesirables try to make contact.
With a huge, regularly updated database that covers more than one billion numbers, DigCaller makes it easy for Facebook users and others to recognize when an unauthorized person is trying to make contact. New features at the company's website also reveal how anyone can make sure their own phone number and other personal information will not end up passing from Facebook's search bar into the hands of criminals, spammers, or other unknown parties.
