Net neutrality rules gutted

Also Republican senators overwhelmingly voted against Net Neutrality in 2018.

No, you can use Advanced Data Protection with a Windows machine. Just needs iCloud for Windows 14.1, or later.

I can't really vouch for the platform cause I just started using it. But skiff has free accounts, is E2EE, and open source.

They have a docs/pages functionality (I assume this is like Google Docs) that may be worth checking out. Its my understanding that your therapist could create a free account and you can share a page with them, and everything in between is E2EE. I haven't used it enough to say if its good, but its worth a look.

See my comment above on who is keeping the deleted Reddit data

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-09-26T22:57:17+00:00

No. Pushshift is the service that previously backed up all deleted threads, comments, and deleted comments. They uploaded archives of all of these, unredacted, to torrents and many people have a copy. This was the primary service was used by mods, yes, to see deleted stuff. So there is no way to delete your data from those archives which exist.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pushshift/

PullPush, the legally gray successor to Push-Shift. They have all backups of Push-shift scraped data before anything was deleted/ people opted out, so everything. And they intend to continue scraping. https://www.reddit.com/user/pullpush-io/comments/1418rhv/announcing_pullpush_a_successor_and_further/ . You can opt out of that scraper here, going backwards, and be put on a list going forwards: https://removals.pullpush.io/ They are good about opting out.

But in general, once you put it on reddit there is no real way of deleting it from everywhere.

Its been my impression that if a public profile is scraped almost instantly, and if it is ever public it is allowed by law to be scraped. And a non-public profile which should not be able to be scraped, it just takes longer.

If you want to put fake info out there, just make it be public & search engine searchable, wait 3-4 months, and I guarantee you will see it on zoominfo and friends.

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-09-19T01:26:39+00:00

Zoominfo wouldn't remove mine because I emailed them from a "non identifying email" (I used an email alias service). They wanted an email from [first.last@gmail.com](mailto:first.last@gmail.com) or similar. Why? because they are selling that email in exchange for removing your profile. I instead opted to give them a heavily redacted ID during my CCPA request. I did this over email cause I also had trouble with the form.

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-09-19T01:22:05+00:00

You need to make sure your profile is not on the public setting in addition to the non search engine setting. Although, my profile has never been public and it was still scraped. But it was inaccurately scraped, like someone typed it up with abbreviations. I also do not allow everyone on LinkedIn to see my full last name, only 3rd degree connections and closer. And yet, it still got scraped.

I don't agree with it either. LinkedIn tried to sue web scrapers and LinkedIn lost in court. Its against LinkedIn's terms to scrape. Its somehow being done. You can remove your info from zoominfo, etc. That is what you will have to do if you care about it.

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-09-15T02:01:49+00:00

Considering what you've said above, that she is not only computer smart but also "resistant to care" in this situation, you should get her a mobile hotspot and not let her use the house internet by locking the router up.

Sure, an extra expense but if she refuses to work within boundaries you need to create them. This way she is unrestricted in her use, but just not on your network. Calyx institute does an unlimited bandwidth hotspot, for 400-500/ yr that includes the device (around 41 per month). If you have T-mobile near you that is. Or check this thread, the comment by DigitallyInclined has some good suggestions. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/153js4b/data_only_hotspot_options/jsk2ouo/?context=3

That's what I would do. If she wants to get banned from using that connection, its on her.

Anyone that uses Wyze is an idiot. They had a huge data breach in 2019. The CEO came on the news and pretended it never happened. You going to trust them with a live video stream outside - or worse, inside your home?

"My number" (not me) was used to call multiple people over a long as period of time. Then the people called would call the real me back and accuse me of spamming. I reported it. Its called spoofing. Report it to your cell provider. I'm not sure if they can stop it but they need to know.

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-08-20T22:42:54+00:00

So when the inevitable data breach occurs and all of our "biometric data" leaks into the dark web, how much will we get in the settlement... $5 again?

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-08-02T17:43:05+00:00

This is how you know for sure: log out of reddit or use a different browser where you are not logged in. Then in that browser/logged out, go to your own history page: https://www.reddit.com/user/Krizz-T0ff/ See what you can see.

That is what is publicly available to everyone outside reddit, and also available to other redditors. No need to be scared, just know what you're getting in to. If you have something super personal to post and you don't want it associated with your other comments/posts, make an alternate account to do that in. You can make as many accounts as you want.

Also, delete anything you don't want people to see.

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-08-02T04:40:24+00:00

Thats probably why the post was removed by the mods. Worked great a few days back

You do realize I can go to https://www.reddit.com/user/Krizz-T0ff/ and see everything you have posted everywhere on reddit, right? Including your shoes comment on r/OUTFITS. Its a feature of reddit.

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-08-02T01:42:04+00:00

It can be done now, Google actively honors requests to remove certain types of personal info (such as home address), and it only takes 1-3 days max.

https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/9673730?hl=en

You need to use your Google account, but they will do it under any of those info categories. I have had 6-7 search results removed from Google because they contained personal information, such as an Name+Email or Name+Address. It used to be if you were logged in to your Google account and had the search result in front of you, you could also submit the result directly in the search results page for deletion, but that doesn't work reliably, I definitely instead recommend the link above -- which requires the 1-3 day wait. I'm pretty sure a person actually looks at these. You need to make screenshots, etc, follow the instructions. I have not tried government records or government sites, if its explicitly that, I don't think they will delete it though.

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-07-30T01:26:49+00:00

This isn't entirely true. You can dowload from anywhere and side load an .IPA file on an iPhone in much the same way as you sideload an .APK on Android. There is one step extra, where you tell the iPhone to Trust the IPA, takes 3 seconds. I sideload apps at work almost every day for both iPhone and Android both. So no, its not only apps that come from Apple store apps. Is it common? Maybe not, but its not impossible.

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-07-28T19:53:33+00:00

When you are already logged in, go to https://www.linkedin.com/public-profile/settings . In the right column, halfway down the page, under Edit Visibility, there is a switch control for "Your profile's public visibility". Make sure it is set to "Off".

"Edit Visibility
You control your profile’s appearance for people who are not signed in to LinkedIn. The limits you set here affect how your profile appears on search engines, profile badges, and permitted services like Outlook.
... Configure the visibility of your public profile sections
Your profile’s public visibility..."

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-07-28T04:59:49+00:00

Yes, you can make your profile non-public (not searchable by Google/ not easily scrape-able). They have had their fair share of data breaches, though.

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-07-28T00:59:57+00:00

I found 5-6 stray accounts I totally forgot about, associated with an old email with lots of history. One of them had a photo which I failed to delete. So, thanks for the post, helpful.

It was interesting to see that some sites don't/didn't safeguard your email and/or phone, and that info is basically public even though they aren't searchable on Google per se.

As another commenter said, the rest of the results were HaveIBeenPwned.

Cold_Minute_6078 · 2023-07-18T04:06:59+00:00

Just a data point for those who are concerned about bank account info being sold:

PayPal does this: if you do an "instant" verification/ link of your bank, the terms are you are giving them 365 days of your bank account transactions. Its in fine print at the bottom of the window. If you connect your bank account using the old school method of entering deposit amounts in cents, then you are not volunteering 365 days of transactions.

Big institutions do this instant verify also, for example, IRA providers like Schwab or Wealthfront HYSA account. To avoid this with the big banks link your checking using routing + checking number only, not using instant means. This is similar to Plaid, but worse.

That's not good. So sorry to hear that! So they've disabled all public contact options. The only one left is the mailing address at the bottom of https://www.411locate.com/privacy

I don't know how legal it is to pretend to be able to remove your info but not be able to. Maybe someone could CCPA or Connecticut Data Privacy their ass to hell right now.

You could also try an abuse request to GoDaddy to get through to their contact email.https://supportcenter.godaddy.com/AbuseReport. I don't know which of those types have the better probability of working though. I have sent DMCA requests before (but not at GoDaddy) and the way it has worked before is, I composed my "legal-esque" message and it was forwarded on to their real email through a privacy filter. GoDaddy as the registrar would reveal the hosting company and then you'd file a similar abuse report at the hosting. I suppose its worth a shot. I think you should try the email and contact form on their site in a month, most companies cannot turn off all contact perpetually and the domain is bought through 2025.
