Didn’t know you were swatted.

Never heard of PiHole, thanks for the info. I already implement adblock and multiple online identities/emails, so could make sense for me.

What do you think of paid services like Incogni? They serve a different purpose of course, but is trying to address data being sold after the fact even worth it, especially at their price?

I don't use data removal services because it's a joke. Sure, they may slightly reduce the reach that your data gets propagated but no one can put the genie back in the bottle.

Yeah, that matches what I understood from watching The Great Hack in 2019. Ostensibly, there are laws that data brokers and companies with your info have to follow with regard to data removal, but none of it works in practice. Thanks
