I was watching a video yesterday which had a sponsor for deleteme which claims to go through data brokers to delete your info. I thought that might be a good idea, especially for those with radical politics. However it’s fairly expensive (~200$) and also I mistrust sponsored links by default.

Have you used them? Have you used something else? What do you recommend people do to deal with the hundreds of data brokers which harvest your info? The point is not to disappear entirely, but pershaps to make it less easy for an employer, payment processor or whatever to blackllist you based on GenAI assessments etc.

    Yes, but these services make a full profile of people, including their political orientation and hot takes, then get GenAI systems to make slop summaries. Then when suit uses a tool to say “give me information about <UserD>”, it might spit out some shit like “this is a violent anarchist” or whatever, yanno?
