We are not born to go to school, work, pay taxes, make politicians rich, and then die.

That’s not life. That’s slavery.

We were given a brain and free will — our life is ours.

TechCrunch: California residents can use new tool to demand brokers delete their personal data. “California is giving residents a new tool that should make it easier for them to limit data brokers’ ability to store and sell their personal information…. Once DROP users verify that they are California residents, they can submit a deletion request that will go to all current and future data […]

#California launched the Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (#DROP), a #free tool allowing residents to request #datadeletion from over 500 registered #databrokers. While the tool simplifies the #optout process, it currently faces a technical issue with authentication codes. DROP only works for #Californiaresidents. https://www.pcmag.com/news/weary-of-data-brokers-california-site-offers-one-stop-opt-out-for-500-plus?eicker.news #tech #media #news
