So, I recently moved about 6 months ago. Have only given my real address and name to the DMV, Phone Company, Internet, and rental property(obviously knows my real address)
Ran Optery and found out that over 80 data brokers have my legit new address already.
Feeling like privacy is just some kind of wet dream at the moment. I do everything right, I think but no matter what the 4 companies I have given my information too will constantly sell my personal data no matter what.
It’s truly sad the direction America is going towards, all for some more money.

Educate your peers then.
educating is hardly an option anymore. the only way to get people to do anything is to brainwash them
Brainwashing is also a form of education.
fair enough lol
Easier said than done. Not like we have a choice rn.
