How to remove yourself from data broker sites
To remove yourself from data broker sites, the first step is to create a burner email account. That’s an email that you will never use for any other purpose than making your data deletion request. In order to delete your data, you have to share your data by creating an account first!
Yes, it’s shady. But are you really surprised?
Once you set that up, pour yourself a cup of coffee and pull up a comfortable chair.
This is going to take a while.
@ecksmc Hey Eric,
This looks like it is going to be interesting. Any chance of you pulling all of these points into one document that you can then share, and that people can hang onto? Just a thought, if you have the time.
Thanks Eric!
@MisterE 👍
i have done in the past on here i made a txt file with all info and posted it via CoSoShare
right now CoSo search won't allow users to search for posts so i can't find it unless i scroll through my toots and i posted the original a good few years back 2018/19
unfortunately i lost the txt doc i made up 😞
i might do another one it took some time to get all the correct info and find all the brooker names and how to opt-out from each can be different
so, if i find time i will 😄
@ecksmc If you can, much appreciated. Understood.
