Russian telecom operators have special services, with the help of which you can legally find out by the phone number where its owner is. For example, these are the services “locator”, “radar” and others. They locate the user's device by USSD request. Denis Kuskov, director of the information and analytical agency Telecom daily, spoke about this.
“There are also so-called direction finder programs that are installed from the app store, but they must be installed with the permission of the smartphone owner. By doing this without permission, you are committing illegal actions, “he said in an interview with the Prime agency.
In addition, in some messengers there is an option “send geolocation, which allows you to determine where the person who is in touch with you is now, and there is also a“ parental control ”service – it helps mums and dads to keep track of their child's movements.
We will remind, as the site kp.ru wrote, earlier the author of the blog “Lawyer explains” Evgenia Furina told how to get rid of intrusive telephone advertising. However, she indicated that calls to tell you about a product are illegal.
