Users are discussing the potential benefits and drawbacks of automating data broker opt-outs.
I always get paranoid about these things ever since the Streisand Effect became a thing, I feel like the outcome is you enter a second list and this second list is maybe less friendly as it turns you into an outlier which brings other kinds of problems
Others have tried the tool and reported mixed results.
Nice idea, but it needs a LOT of TLC to make it generally useful. I suspect that having a non-numeric ‘zip’ code and a non-US address might be breaking a lot of the automation.
