I recently Googled myself, and in the first page of results I ran across some shit AI website that scrapes random web content about people and attempts to summarize it. It got my current occupation completely and comically wrong -- as in, it has nothing at all to do with tech.

If you're trying to figure out anything about me from social media or other such random web pages, I don't care to have anything to do with you, and I don't care what you're led to believe about me. I suppose this is born of privilege, but the only contacts I care to make are directly via people I already have a relationship with.




Just did the same, and the form to get your data removed asks for 3 items of personal information "to confirm your identity" lol.

Edit: the site I found was "zoominfo".


The only personal information they're going to get from me will be what's in my libel lawsuit.
