[Healeys] Privacy. No LBC content.

[Skip Saunders]

Don't bother.... Spokeo, like many other similar sites, merely aggregates
information that you've already provided to available open public sites.
If you've posted information on the internet, it can be found.   Further,
there are many public information sites available for looking into real
estate ownership, property tax records, etc.   If anyone wants to know
something about you in particular, they can do easy searches of public
records to find out stuff about you.   If you post information on Facebook,
or Twitter, or any other social network site, that information can be
retrieved by most anyone.   In the case of social networking sites, some of
them offer various forms of "privacy" (such as for "friends only", etc.)...
but the bottom line is simple:  The internet is a huge repository of
information tidbits about most anybody.

In other words:  trying to get your information expunged from Spokeo is a
waste of time... Just like the game "whack a mole", if you stop one site,
another will pop up with the information within seconds...If you are truly
concerned about privacy, then don't use social network sites, obfuscate your
email addresses, and minimize what information you provide to any on-line
service.   You can never be entirely cleared from the internet because
public records are still searchable.  But, you can be careful about how
widely you circulate information.

By the way, none of these information aggregator sites (Spokeo, Peekyou,
iSearch, Intelius, etc.) can guarantee accuracy of information...they merely
search for what is readily available.  So, even if there is a reference to
you out there, no one can be sure that the information is accurate...(
personally, I don't believe I am important enough for people to really care
about what information they can find about me on the internet....most people
spend their time searching out information on themselves... I think it is an
"ego" thing...lol)

The one thing that you can do to make matters worse is to respond to queries
or "cancellation" requests from sites like Spokeo... if you verify
information they've collected, then you've made matters worse...best option:
Just ignore them.
