   @magicalthinking @p @dj @ryan @DrFell @lanodan I do wish it was easier to scrub shit from those shady ass data brokers.
   
   Everytime I go to the dmv my info is on 5 more of those damn sites.

     @ins0mniak @magicalthinking @DrFell @dj @lanodan @ryan The thing you want to do usually is just not do business with a company that sells info like that, and not give the info to anyone if you can avoid it. (Nice thing about running your own mail server: infinite aliases, and you can turn them off.)
     
     But you don't get to pick a different DMV, so the solution would normally be to get the government to stop selling data. The government is not going to do that, though, and they are not going to listen or care.

     They sell it directly and you can find this out because they publish the contracts and the minutes of the meetings where they entertained bids. Taxes and fees do not go down.

     I don't think they sell it, they leave it on servers with "Password1!" for protection.

     I want to buy the data for the fediverse.
