Remove Internet information on yourself

The correct word would have been more overt, not hiding at all. Compliance with DOT, FAA and TSA is a condition of carriage. Only have to do it you want a ticket.

Hidden behind that condition of carriage is all sorts of other "conditions" that we aren't told about and the reason we aren't told about them is because for the most part they are an unconstitutional search. Keeping what they found out about you so it can be used against you later at a time of their choosing (1/6/20) is the icing on the cake.

All of that data being collected by the private sector amounts to little more than an SQL database for the feds as well.

SCOTUS has ruled you have no expectation of privacy. Essentially they are saying you have no privacy other than the thoughts between your ears. That is all wrong. It's flat out RONG! too.

Sadly most of the sites presented as ways to stop something are just ways to verify good active email addresses to launch the next campaigns.
Reply stop to stop is code for is this a good address.

I was just telling Ruger#3 something similar. Even when you mark an email as spam, that is an indication that your email is active. Also, unless you know the site is legit you’re unsubscribing from, never click that ‘click here to unsubscribe’ button. Best to just delete those emails.

Yeah but that's not what I reply with if you know what I mean. It's definitely not "family friendly G Rated".

I agree with you for the most part. Folks buy tickets every day and don’t bother to read what they agreed with.

I know it sounds like an excuse but it's kind of hard to read the 2 point pitch text that's on the ticket.

Yep, that’s an excuse. Contract of Carriage is on a full size web page linked from where you buy your tickets. No one ever bothers to read it.

Have you ever read a software EULA top to bottom? What about all those other "Terms and Conditions" on almost everything today? It's not just airplane ride tickets. In order to conduct commerce these days you have to give away any idea of privacy.

RULE 4: PERSONAL DATA

The passenger recognizes that personal data has been given to Carrier for the purposes of making a reservation for carriage, obtaining ancillary services, facilitating immigration and entry requirements, and making available such data to government agencies. For these purposes, the passenger authorizes Carrier to retain such data and to transmit it to its own offices, other Carriers, or the providers of such services, in whatever country they may be located. All passenger information shall be handled in accordance with Delta’s Privacy Policy

Good thing is you still have time to make all this not matter. So when some guy from some "group" shows up at your house and asks afternoon sir, did you use some non approved words on 8/22/2023? And you say yes. And they say well you now no longer have a job, a bank account, a pass to use the grocery store, you can be free to say, well then no big deal, have a nice day sir.

I love the idea that some US Congressman was proposing a few weeks ago about a law that would require all these web companies to NOT sell any of your information to any third party without having to pay YOU royalties for doing so.

But that has a snowball's chance.

 

[oldfella1962]

That's good to know but our personal info or some of it has been on the internet for so long now I doubt its worth my time to try and remove it.

Are the google instructions in Chinese? No doubt they already have everything on all of us, including our shoe sizes! I was in the military and a government contractor, so it's a guarantee they have all my information - government systems have been hacked six ways from Sunday.

Hilarious! Does this Congressman write his own material?

Even if the law passed, would it be followed? And if not followed, would there be repercussions?

It would require a world-wide boycott type revolt from the billions of existing users to affect any changes as far as commercial use of our data. By that, I mean that all of us have checked "agree" when we signed up to whatever web service. Their ***** are covered by that agreement as of now and there position is that we are all getting fairly compensated by being allowed to use their site for free. And it's had to argue against that position.

But at some point in the future consumers might stand up and decide enough is enough and this has gone on far beyond what they find acceptable. Only a consumer choice revolt could even begin to change things on that front.

As far as "legal" or "illegal" government intrusions and access to data, that is an entirely different story. Probably, only the voting booth could make changes happen in the very few countries remaining that allow legitimate voting.
