So interestingly enough, a Facebook account I made years ago that was only used as a test is somehow in the records linked to my current address. Facebook is literally the only person that knows about this account and its never been attached to my personal FB account. It's making me really suspect right now...

I'm not sure what the point of that would be, the caller ID is generally fake.
Oh, I talk to them and ask the caller for information that reveals the company behind the call; then complain via the agency that manages the donotcall lists in my country. Like oh yeah, double glazing, yeah, send an appraiser to my house, can I have a phone number in case I need to cancel? What company ID badge will the appraiser have? I don't get many calls through though.

Well there was the well publicised man-in-the-middle attack by Linkedin. They repurposed user login details to silently rerouted all the user’s email through their servers for scanning and mining. That seems like a pretty dark pattern to me. To my knowledge no one got fired for unethical behaviour over that. The company seems to have a “don’t get caught” attitude to privacy.

Isn't that technically not mitm? That would imply the user was using linkedin as a mail client/proxy or something. This is closer to fraud or phishing.

The US has been dismantling the rule of law for decades. They call it "deregulation". It lead directly to the last big financial crash, and it also is largely responsible for predatory schools, prisons, universities, banks, and much more.
The US has been dismantling the rule of law for decades. They call it "deregulation". Your response is mostly hyperbole, and indicated an axe to grind. You can be against deregulation, but it's not applicable to the question posed. There were no data gathering laws "dismantled" in the name of "deregulation." You statement is false. What is happening here is what has always happened: Laws are almost always a step behi…

People describe their company's entire tech stack, in detail on LinkedIn. And the little shot of dopamine they get from being LinkedIn popular would probably make them happy to answer any questions you have about things they left out.
There's a difference between knowing all the pieces that go into a working machine, and knowing how, in what order, to what end, and all the little interactions and knock-on effects in the form of of unwritten knowledge that keep a company cranking along. Go ahead and set yourself up a Tomcat cluster, an internal Tomcat cluster, some Oracle databases, and even go so far as to reverse-engineer a UI and maybe a data mo…
The worst part imhop is that your opt-out is often not respected over time when new data flows in (including voting records scraped so get ready for November).
Of course, you can always pay deleteme to do it for you. the real solution here is better-crafted legislation and a re-definition of public record information when it is published virtually.
i expect this to take ~5 years, but optimistic we can get there.
I highly recommend OneRep ( https://onerep.com/ ) as a service to remove you from these websites. I've been using it myself for a while and it has saved me a lot of headache. For those of you who do want to remove all of the info yourself, I've found this is also a good resource: https://inteltechniques.com/data/workbook.pdf
From the research I have done, Onerep is also a data broker that lists your data online https://www.privacyduck.com/comparisons/privacyduck-vs-onere...
