When the privacy laws in the US are so weak, it seems like maintaining the effect of data removal requires paying for the data removal service indefinitely. Is it worth it regardless? Are there any cases and criteria where one should pay for data removal, more so than the average person? Interested to hear if anyone here has seen noticeable benefits, beyond the mere fact that their PII have been scrubbed from data brokers and search sites.
They pretty much just remove you from all those different people finder websites. Not the data brokers that Meta (etc) sell to/from.
It’s still beneficial if you can afford it, but more likely to protect you from targeted scams or stalkers etc. than anything Big Tech.
This. You can remove yourself from those people finder websites if you’re willing to take the time. I don’t think paying monthly is worth it.
