    Is this your kid? No, is this your kid? No, is this your kid? No, how about this kid? No, is this your kid? No, surely this is your kid? No, is it this kid? No, maybe this is your kid? No, is this your kid?

      Lol I’m picturing a stressed, overworked T-Mobile employee sweating bullets as he tries (and repeatedly fails) to find a customer’s kid

    It’s a bit misleading to say they’re “random”. These are all children whose parents told T-Mobile to track for them. They’re seeing kids that aren’t theirs.

    The issue isn’t that they’re random kids from the population or random T-Mobile customers, but that they’re kids that T-Mobile received consent to track and that information is being shared to the wrong people.

    Obviously this is bad, but my point is that the data comes from somewhere. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but people need to be careful with what data they share with anyone or any organization.
