Brickbat: Dislike and Unsubscribe

|

When Courtney Teague called Atlanta 311, a number for non-emergency city services, she did not know that the person answering the call was working from home or that the person was livestreaming the call. But a few minutes later, she got a call from a woman in Chicago who'd been watching the livestream telling her she'd heard all of the personal information Teague provided to the city employee. An Atlanta city spokesman told a local TV reporter that after officials were alerted to the problem, the employee was removed from answering calls and no longer works for the city.
