How to delete yourself from the internet
Publishing timestamp: 2023-02-10 10:32:16
Summary
Consumers have a legitimate interest in controlling their personal data on the internet and reducing the threat of identity theft. Google has rolled out a tool to allow consumers to request removal of personal data from search results, and there are paid services such as DeleteMe, Kanary and OneRep that can do the scrubbing on their behalf. Consumers should consider their privacy concerns, how much time and energy they are willing to expend, and how much they are willing to pay for privacy protection. It is impossible to remove every morsel of online information tied to a person's name, and ongoing privacy audits are recommended.
