Comment on Mozilla’s new service tries to wipe your data off the web

There are already plenty of companies that sell managed data removal like this, Mozilla claims to be doing it better and perhaps they are incrementally more trustworthy than the smaller no name ones

Discover does it for free, but they only do so on a handful of sites.

Decided to try it out, 489 request in progress vs the 10 from a year with Discovers free takedowns.

I think it was only 3 when I first signed up, so that’s an improvement. They probably hit the ones most likely to honor takedown requests, but yeah 190 sites is more than 10. $9 is more than $0 too though, so it’s a balance.
I wonder how many sites like this actually exist. Probably over a thousand would be my guess.

I just tried to enable it, they want $15/month.

Sounds like you’re looking at their identity theft bullshit? The data removal is free, but only for 10 sites.

Probably so. How do you sign up for the data removal?
