I’m so confused about how to protect myself from the data pigs.
After we got that data deletion law here in New Hampshire I was having a great time having all kinds of miscellaneous websites delete my data. I thought this was great.
Then I realized that if I don’t have a web presence on a website anyone can pretend to be me and make one, so now I don’t know what to do.
Do I leave my entry on “find a grave” just so no one else can make one and slander me? Or do I make them delete my data because ancestry.com is the largest genealogy data broker out there?
I locked down my credit reports a while back, then I learned there’s a whole list of subprime lenders that don’t use the regular credit reports, or maybe they do but according to Reddit we’re supposed to also lock our credit on all these subprime lender websites.
I did not do that because that would involve me giving all these places my information, but maybe I should. If I did then no one else can pretend to be me on these websites.
There is no right answer is there? They’re just going to do whatever they want to us and leave us stuck with the bill.
