A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I wouldn't say they're a scam! They are submitting your name automatically to everyone at once - or at least everyone who follows the law.
It's just not a long-term solution. Data Brokers are incredibly incestuous. Any data that one owns will find its way back into all the others.
If you want to try to clean up as much as possible, unsubscribe from as much as you can. Close every account that you reasonably can.
Then setup a monthly reminder to ask incogni (or similar) to nuke your data from the web. It'll work, just not forever.
It's going to be an eternal effort against a constant tide.
Thank you for being vague.
It's abt databrokers stealing and sharing your data they said it in the text
