THE PERSON WHO BLUEJACKED MY DAD
Hello if you're reading
this! Congratulations - nobody has ever recognised
"jellyellie" before. You have truly made our week,
and I'm so jealous that I wasn't there with my dad too :-).
I would love to hear from you - please reply
in this thread or email
me.
There
have been a number of articles in the newspapers recently focusing
on a sinister use of bluejacking carried out by a minority of
people, including the sending of violent images and videos via
Bluetooth. To make our position absolutely clear we have always
promoted bluejacking as a fun and harmless hobby, and we are
100% against the sending of messages via Bluetooth
that could in any way worry, upset or distress the recipient.
As our code of ethics posted
in 2003 has always made clear, we totally discourage the sending
of upsetting messages. This new phenomenon is totally contrary
to the spirit bluejackQ has always promoted; bluejacking should
be fun, harmless, and done in the way that doesn't upset people.
If you don't want to be bluejacked, follow our instructions
in the FAQ
to turn off Bluetooth on your phone.
Heard about bluesnarfing
and bluejacking in the news recently? Don't get the two confused
- bluejacking is legal and fun, whereas bluesnarfing is illegal.
