Sick of scam calls and texts? State law now allows California residents to have their contact and personal information removed from the people selling it.

    Daily reminder that this very likely just adds a database line “deleted for privacy laws: Yes” into their database. Still probably worth doing for possible legal ramifications in the future, but right now likely does almost nothing for a lot of data brokers.

      Reminder that if you can produce evidence that they didn’t, you can sue them.
