Answer:
All information is gathered from public posts on social networks. Geo Listening does not monitor email, SMS, MMS, phone calls, voicemails or unlock any privacy setting of a social network user.
Answer:
Users of social networks receive a username and password, which gives them a right to publish social commentary and media. Most users below the age of 25 do not utilize the available privacy settings because they are seeking to be recognized for their respective posts. They have chosen to post in the public domain in exchange for popularity and a decreasing ability to communicate effectively face to face.
