T-Mobile Shows Users the Names, Pictures, and Exact Locations of Random Children
"I would log in and I couldn’t see my children but I could see a kid in California. I refreshed and would see a different child.”

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.
Rather odd for T-Mobile to be aiming for what I can only imagine is a rather small population, the pedophile market.
Their new marketer must have graduated from the Epstein Island school of business.
Didn’t hurt Reddit or OnlyFans.
Finally, a reason for me to join T-Mobile.
