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.
What’s to stop a broker from reacquiring your information? Sounds like an exhausting process.
The hope is that this is telling them, “stop collecting and delete what you have”, but dunno for sure
One of the selling points of delete me in particular is that they will continue to check and every time the data brokers re-acquire your data they will send a deletion request.
