California lawmakers on Thursday passed a bill known as the Delete Act that would allow consumers, with a single request, to have every data broker delete their personal information.

    FYI, don’t ever, ever use WideVPN. Bunch of rude stupid motherfuckers that wouldn’t even bother deleting user account information.

    Also, Sling doesn’t give a fuck either, so yeah I fully support this bill.

    Some of these brokers ask for you to send a picture with driver’s license to delete your data. Giving them more personal info. Or they just agree to stop for a few years.
    With someone’s email, you can find out their home address, last addresses, and family members.
    Fuck that. I hope these broker businesses burn to nothing.
