If you live in California and you want to take advantage of the state-run portal that tells all registered data brokers to delete your data instead of having to send an individual request to every single one, here is what you need to know: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/07/what-you-need-know-about-californias-drop-tool

  • @evacide@hachyderm.io I wonder if I can use this for data collected when I lived in California. I’m in a different state now but I spent the majority of my life there. Moved so much inside California too with so many addresses.

  • @evacide@hachyderm.io Eva, I'm not sure whether I believe that's a dedicaed privacy mining funnel. After attempting to jump through all of the hoops with the crazy KYC-like requirements, including the reliance of IIRC, https://gov.com logon and not until the very end of the verification that I was who I said I was it went and required me to provide a DID (that's a phone number, for those of you who do not already know) that it liked. I'm sorry (NOT) but there was way more than enough divulged, including my existing Gov.com creds, to believe that California was privacy mining for the sake of tracking their subjugated chattel. Thanks, great idea and thank you also for your public service, but I don't even know if I"m going to bother to go look again - I FELT REALLY VIOLATED #tallship #privacy #privacy_mining #fingerprinting #industrial_surveillance ⛵ .
