Are there people search websites available in the EU? If so, why can’t I sign up for DeleteMe or similar services to remove my personal information from these websites

    In sweden, those records are public and nothing you can do about as a swedish citizen. What goes in the rest of the EU I don’t know.

        It’s from a time where we didn’t have digital contact lists and no internet. So what if you want to call the bakery down the street? You look up a public record like YellowPages. And the same was true for people too. I know it’s hard to imagine now with plenty of Indian call centers social engineering grandma, but the only real “wow”here is why they didn’t change this yet.

          Oh wait I thought the people’s browser search history is public. My English is so great it’s actually terrible.
