Syn_Attck , 2 months ago A not-so-secret dirty little secret is that many of the reputation management agencies also own many of the public records websites that publish mug shots, court records, and so on. When you hire them to remove that information from the internet it puts you into a cycle of being removed from one or two of their website and added to something else. You end up in a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. Complete with monthly fees. It's much better to go through the list of data brokers manually and submit your information twice a year, if you have the time. Like doing taxes, but for privacy.
