The only ways you can opt-out of a data broker in the here and now is to manually go to each data broker yourself and opt-out there, or pay money for a removal service that automatically removes your info and opts you out. That is not okay at all. We should have a clear and concise way to opt-out our personal, sensitive info from data brokers, and the best way for that is to give us a national registry like we already have with the National Do Not Call Registry that prevents telemarketers and robocallers from calling us. Everyone in California is already gonna get this by 2026 with a bill that makes it easier to delete online personal data, which is known as the Delete Act. This is not good enough! We need a national registry that prohibits data brokers from collecting our info outright, under any circumstances. If there’s one good thing that should come out of these murders, it should be this. These services harvest our data and then sell it to anyone willing to pay, which should outright be made 100% illegal. These services should not be allowed to operate, and quite frankly, I’d like to see a few owners of some of these data broker companies in actual jail for the shit they’ve done to innocent people, such as been the cause of this recent shooting. Fuck all of them.
