Voicemail hacking has a sordid history. British tabloid News of the World, one of the oldest newspapers in the UK, was revealed to have accessed the voicemail systems of possibly over 4000 people [1]. The scandal was such a hit to the newspaper's reputation that it was shut down completely in 2011.
It's incredible that a YC founder would think it "an interesting social experiment".
