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.

    Well, if you didn’t take all the precautions you took, over a 1000 data brokers could’ve had access to your address, and so much more about you.

    And while I most certainly don’t like it, I know that I’m still stopping them from learning even more about me, and my search results are still secure.

    Everyone I get to talk to me on Signal is having a secure conversation with me.

    Everything to an extent is a win, so don’t give up king.
