    That was really informative - so much so you should watch it… but if you really can’t; there are 6 types of data broker and these services only target 1 and in that one they only manage to remove ~1.5% of that data in 6 months of membership.

    All I need to know to skip buying these services is that they relentlessly advertise through “influencers” on YouTube

    I’ve always thought of these as basically a protection racket. Probably not literally, but close enough.

    They are basically more digital data versions of LifeLock. And we all know the legal issues they ran into for disingenuous products/services.
