When people started calling my personal mobile number with questions about a voluntary organisation I'm involved with, I was confused: we weren't sharing that number. It turns out that Google had decided to take the number I used to verify my identity for Google Business some years prior and start putting it in Google Search results. WTF, Google?
Its weird how more people decided to use this information against people in the modern era than people in the past.
It was used against people in the past too, probably more underreported then than now.
