So, I recently moved about 6 months ago. Have only given my real address and name to the DMV, Phone Company, Internet, and rental property(obviously knows my real address)
Ran Optery and found out that over 80 data brokers have my legit new address already.
Feeling like privacy is just some kind of wet dream at the moment. I do everything right, I think but no matter what the 4 companies I have given my information too will constantly sell my personal data no matter what.
It’s truly sad the direction America is going towards, all for some more money.
USPS shouldn’t be considered a business that has revenues and expenses. It’s a service provided by the government.
Selling stamps and postage is a great way to subsidize themselves, but shortfalls should just be covered by the government. Wish they didn’t engage in that but there’s this perception that the USPS needs to be profitable to survive.
Now, let’s not blame everything on the postal service. The DMV in many states will also sell your data, and the phone and internet companies definitely did.
