Unexist

any lainons here did any effort to unexist aka try and get every single bit of information about them on the internet? how did you do it and how did it go?

Unfortunately public records are a hell of a thing, and data corporations gobble that up and repost it all over. You would have to request (and often times present ID) to each and every website with your information, which unfortunately becomes too labor intensive. And even then it does not account for archived web pages that still have your information. The best you can do is not have enough reference points to be able to narrow down who you actually are. God help you if you have facebook, amazon, or GMAIL or a cell phone. There is a guide on determining how much of your information is on the internet, and it has been posted here a few times (PDF on how to search for and remove information about you on the internet)

internet is not removable lmao

unexisting is easy. Throw away your phone, get a haircut, change your name, skip town. Find a job that pays cash and a landlord who will take it. It's just that usually the loss of all your friends is too much for most people. Too much for me, for sure.

You can't get all the information about you off the internet. But depending on what information you want off, or at least hard to find, it's possible. I think there are even some companies that will do it for you, to some extent. What information are you most concerned about keeping off the internet? >>7016 I don't think OP is trying to become a new person, I think he just doesn't want people to find personal information about him on the internet. >>7014 There's also normal companies you interact with in meatspace that sell your data. You give them your address, phone number, etc., and then they sell it off later, and anyone with a spokeo account and your name can dox you. It's pretty much impossible to avoid, even if you only interact with companies that promise they won't do it. Hell, I just bought a car from a dealership that had a "we don't sell your private information to third parties at all" policy. Got a letter the other day where they sold my finance contract to a different financing agency, who explicitly stated in the letter that they do sell private info to third parties for "marketing and other purposes." Fortunately, a lot of the whitepages and similar websites will unlist you if you ask them to, but you'll pop back up on them at some point, so it's an ongoing battle.

>>7018 >I don't think OP is trying to become a new person, I think he just doesn't want people to find personal information about him on the internet. same thing. Of course you can make it *harder* to get info on you on the internet, basically by never ever using facebook or other "real-face" social media websites. But that's not the same as erasing all online info about you.

>>7013 would lain care enough to give me the websites it knows hoards data? like 'people finding' websites and similars?

I have a good list of them, but unfortunately I left it on my USB in a text doc that I left at a friends house, I can get it tomorrow though

you can't reliably remove information from the net, but you can poison it with misinformation. never give real information about yourself unless you have to. false name, address, birthdate, etc, and different on every site. start lying immediately! be creative! aside from that, learn general opsec.

>>7084 you can ask big data brokers to at least hide your public information (phone number, physical/email address, and relatives) but sometimes you need a compelling reason as they are often "public records" information

So far, here is what I found: >publicrecords.com >spokeo.com >peoplefinder.com >peekyou.com >privateeye.com >veromi.net >usidentify.com >publicrecords.com >mylife.com >whitepages.com >instantcheckmate.com >intelius.com feel free to add to this if any lains can find more

Michael Bazzell (fake last name) runs a podcast on what he calls osint (open source intelligence) with a privacy focus. Hes a fed, a wage slave and I don't trust alot of his opsec personally. Its mostly aimed to ads/corps, he doesn't talk much on fed/gov opsec oddly, though I don't trust him. he's not a fake. Mostly just technically inept . Hes what you would call a "power user" and his podcast has come along way since he started (his opsec was truly awful in the beginning) >https://inteltechniques.com/menu.html I not saying to run those "tools" (searches/search engines) from his website, but that should give you a start of what to look for. Its fuarrrking amazing how much info you can gain from one source. I did a search using a friends phone number (thats it) and in 45 min had enough info to legit ruin there life if I had malicious intent. I don't know soykaf about doxxing but that "fuarrrk lets see how this works" turned into "HOLY soykaf BATMAN, THAT WAS WAAAAAY TOO EASY" mind you I used a phone number but those are pretty easy to get with a name.

>>7117 here's a lot more: https://paranoidsbible.tumblr.com/post/114108745259/opt-out-master-list

>>7117 >>7121 >>7122 fuarrrk yeah, this is exactly what i was looking for, thank you.

>>7122 the author's website has some amazing tools as well - https://inteltechniques.com/menu.html

Kevin Mitnick also wrote a book that might be of use

>>7128 kevin mitnick is a sham tho, more of a social engineer than a hacker

>>7014 where is this pdf?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-reportedly-received-sensitive-health-data-from-apps-without-consent/ >One example detailed by the Journal shows how a woman would track her period and ovulation using an app from Flo Health. After she enters when she last had her period, Facebook software in the app would send along data such as whether the user may be ovulating. The Journal's testing found that the data was sent with an advertising ID that can be matched to a device or profile. >Although Facebook's terms instruct app developers not to send such sensitive information, Facebook appeared to be accepting such data without telling the developers to stop. Developers are able to use such data to target their own users while on Facebook.

>>7128 I've read this one. It's okay, but you'll notice some glaring flaws if you know what's up. It's a good place to start if you're completely unfamiliar with the ideas, though. The overall idea if more going off the grid for a particular op than being permanently invisible.

When you tick "do not track" in your browser, websites know you have something to hide now.

>>7294 Not really since most people check it for the sake checking it.

an important excerpt from >>7122 >It is also highly recommended that parents begin to implement these techniques on behalf of their minor children. How much easier would it be to demand your privacy back if most of the information available had never been put there in the first place?
