Why TF should the burden be on me? So tired of this. Everything should be opt-in. You don't have permission unless I explicitly give it to you!

#12No option for people outside those regions?
The current law in a few areas allows them to collect all your data, then offer you to opt-out. There's no requirement for them to not collect private data, and there's no requirement most places for them to offer you an opt-out.
My question is how do we get people to stop working for places like clearview and google and facebook that all work against the public good?

#13There's something very wrong about some random company being able to collect lots of data about you where the only way to stop it is to _somehow_ know about the company and opt out _after_ it collects that data.

#14Is there a deadline for them to reply to my Data Access Request Form?

#16Should every person start keeping a list of all privacy intrusions and then opt out? That’s never going to work out due to user fatigue, which is what all these opt out platforms depend on (that nobody will go through the trouble of doing it). (Not exactly the same) Just like Facebook announced a few years ago asking users to send it nude photos just so it could take down nude photos of that person, this also is ripe…
Did FB provide the option to just take them all down in the case where there does not exist a nude photo of someone? Or just take them all down unconditionally?
If not, was it too difficult for them to think of this option?

There are a couple services that opt-out for you. Often times your information will re-appear on the same site months later, too, so they provide monitoring.

What you have said is one thing. Intrusion like this can only be opt-in. But I am having another problem with opt-out with such a fishy company. Who guarantees me that after I send them my ID, they wont just take it, add the data to database and set a flag "hidden" to the records.
