Curious how folks here think about personal data exposure.

After doing some digging, I realized a pretty uncomfortable amount of my data is publicly accessible via data brokers (addresses, phone numbers, family links). Not scraped from breaches — just legally aggregated and sold.

I found this tool that tries to automate removal requests: https://datawipenow.com/

Do people here actively try to clean this up, or is the consensus that it’s basically a losing battle?
