This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Fortunately, here's the links and instructions. Take 20 minutes a day to knock one out.

I've had to email the Support accounts for brokers plenty of times because, shocker, their opt out page is janky and broken.
https://justdeleteme.xyz/ and https://simpleoptout.com/, there was this one website that had a pre-filled email template too, and it'd remind you to follow up with support, etc. Even while this isn't for data brokers, it's good to have these just in general.
Page does not exist
Oops thanks
It exists if you use HTTPS and not www. at the beginning of the hostname:
Hah, they need to go update their DNS settings to include the www.
No, www needs to go the way of the dodo.
Gotta love an abbreviation that is longer to say than the expansion
I’m somewhere in between: I also hate www. but it’s usually pretty easy to just redirect it.
On mobile now, but if there’s no HTTPS DNS record and no HSTS HTTP headers those are things I’d be more concerned about — kind of wish leaving port 80 open wasn’t still so necessary.
Why would they add the www. subdomain with no use for it? That'd be like including a handcrank with a new car just because some old people still think they need it
I mean, this entire thread was started because of a broken link. So I don’t know that “no use for it” is entirely accurate. It would have prevented the broken link, and that is a use.
Do any of those databroker data deletion services actually work? Are they worth it?
Imagine if they get hacked. They would never tell..or they would lose their whole customer base. Although they would still have their data I guess..
I can tell you optery does. Expensive though.
gotta. they just want to be marked spam.
