There are a bunch of services trying to cover this, Incogni, deleteme as you said, optery, kanary, privacy bee, etc.

Incogni's supposedly fairly good but I haven't used it myself.

None of them are a silver bullet, their theoretical success rate is somewhere around the 60-70% mark. I would recommend you dig into "data poisoning" too. The idea is to flood your online profile with contradictory information, (fake a dresses, wrong age, alternate names) so your profile becomes unreliable and less valuable.

Some services like Data Bee do that to some degree. Nowadays it kinda works but smart systems can filter this data by comparing your online profiles in different places and saying "this age matches in 4 places, this name too" etc, so that's hard

But i'd try some cheap platform, and pair that with manually deleting as much of your data manually from any app, individual accounts etc, even if that takes a bunch of time

it happens. Very expensive cars that aren't more reliable than 2010s and 2000s counterparts, super expensive to repair and maintain. Now with all the electric market, european brands are lagging behind to chinese brands. I want european brands to thrive, but damn, sometimes I think "they've been forgetting what people want for a while now"

What can I say, germany has been beat up with holocaust and such arguments. People obviously switched sides, and now saying anything that somewhat resembles not liking jewish influence in our politics is extreme antisemitism or something like that

So now, in mainstream media, we have a mix of people complaining about this situation with germany being more jewish than ever in political support and such, with touches of people calling everyone dissagreeing with this nazi. And the actual politicians dont give a crap and let people protest and fight

It happens. If the union that's supposed to unite european countries and their values, says quote "we have the values of the talmud"-ursula. That means we are being run by a parliament that cares more about Israel and jewish values than all values and wishes from european countries and citizens

What we want doesn't matter. We don't control the EU, someone else does.

most socalist governments like mine (Spain's) vote in favour of these kind of stuff. They want more control, not less lol. And believe it or not, most right wing parties that usually are somewhat nationalist, tend to believe their own people deserve privacy or media freedom or whatever, no matter what other countries think

By fascist funding do you mean the 250k yearly they seem to be getting from FUTO+ thousands on donations each month? And also, futo is probably the most pro-customer organization these days? Also even if you dislike other donors like Framework, why wouldn't you want a project like this to get funding?

Also, like it or not, if you read the blog you can see how they tested it to make sure the bytecode matched, and how this was done by a engineer not a random guy "vibe coding", which surprise surprise, AI is a tool indeed, and a good one if you get control of it.

And even me personally I'm not a fan but people are too quick to criticize, they built a custom engine themselves, at 90%+ the results of webkit, gecko or webSpider (i believe this was the name of chrome's), then they are building the browser on top of it at the same time, and they're on track to launch the browser alpha this year multiplatform and with multiple great devs hired + open source contributors, so that's not half bad.

This project should be of interest to people that think the team is good, bad, and all spectrums, in what universe is a user created browser with little to no funding, anti ads anti current monopoly bad? Give it a chance, other projects that have been in this for years are lagging behind ladybird which started "recently"

edit: clarifying, I just dislike this doomer mindset instead of trying to put things on a scale, the scale of the project is insane for the size of the team, and they're constantly pulling up with very good updates

They are chocking the younger population in taxes, to earn 2000€ a month the company would need to pay about 4000€, and for that the company would need to get at least 5000+€ (to account for taxes for their products and services. And then after that they'd need to make profit if they can).

I'd call that chocking the younger population, specially now that 2000€ would be the bare minimum to live in bigger cities without having to share a place to live. And most people in random cities spend 100€ on electricity, 500-700 on renting, 250 for food per person, expensive gas prices, etc.

If they won't lower the taxes, no matter how many immigrants they bring, the younger population cant save up, build infrastructure and companies, or anything for the matter, so the country won't prosper.

Racism is the prejuice of a group of people based on their skin color. I'm not making a prejuice because I'm not speculating, and also, I'm not grouping them by skin color even, I also mentioned and showed that first gen immigration assimilated better, and latin americans too. I'm giving you data of what's been happening, not what I like or not, this is a serious topic

What's the deal? I'm giving the data, I don't have any problem with any race, in fact, I also talked about south american immigration (be it white or black people from there) getting close to the levels of employment and studies of locals which means immigration with them is working, and a cool (and necessary) thing called "assimilation" is happening.

Before I give you mixed spanish sources, this is one of the best european made analysis on the topic of Immigration net revenue or loss by country (from the netherlands)

https://docs.iza.org/dp17569.pdf

Now these are spanish sources:

for example, africans in this graph only reach superior education or university 10% of the times, where locals are at 48.9% and latin american immigration at 31.5%, europeans at 28,8%, asians at 26%, and so on

Now, regarding work, just bellow that table on the same source, we can see the "activity rate" (so people that are either working or doing something towards it), locals 87%, average sits around 83%, africans are at 69%. For ocupation (which means they are actively working) 51%, while immigration from asia, europe, and locals sit above 70% points at all times, locals are at 80%.

For a final unemployment rate statistic of 8% for locals, 16% for second generation immigrants, and 25% for current generation immigrants (from africa)

(source: 4ºtrimester 2024 INE (national institute of statistics of spain))

You also have this study specifically on net tax win/loss, with sources at the bottom of it

https://fundaciondisenso.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/20250024_InformeXXIX-1.pdf

And again, I don't have any problems with immigration, but studies exist from a reason, and they are clear as water, I'd love for every person to have a chance to educate themselves, have a good job, start their life and so on. But that can't be at the expense of the people already at the country they are moving to.

Not trying to deter anyone from trying it, but be aware their support is mostly AI 2020 level and it has very bad critics because of that. You can't trust money to them if they don't have support.

Not a N26 only critic, mostly neobanks excluding some. Please do research before putting your money in there, otherwise I liked the app very much and honestly hoped the support was better

In Spain we already had a power outage because of this. The government tried to hide it, yesterday, yes, yesterday, we were at our limit after we had to shut down Wind power because wind speeds were too high.

They had to shut down part of the industry which is an emergency plan just to lower demand a bit at that time.

The most precious tech human has discovered in terms of ecology and power, is nuclear, which in the previous outage is what helped us kickstart the power grid again (France's nuclear) and is what this time saves the supply from giving up.

Ecology is beautiful, but giving up nuclear is popularism and nuclear fuzz

I'd love if this worked to bring more revenue, but there's no room for unskilled labor in Spain with the current (high) unemployment rate. This regulatory change acts like a call to even more immigrants to come in. And as in all of history, the higher the unemployment, the easiest it is for employers to exploit workers

Also, unskilled immigration specially from African countries is overall a net loss for the country, tax wise. I'd love if it wasn't like this, but a government can't claim to be socialist while flooding an already flooded work market and housing market with half a million immigrants just like that.

Again, I'm the first that'd be happy if this was even remotely useful to increase our quality of life, but it just isn't, it puts more stressed on a country that's hanging on a very thin edge.

Not only Id. like many new Id verification systems, that have the ALT option of taking a selfie... Which is easily bypassed by any AI image, or searching for "picture of a man" and taking a """"selfie""" of that.

Or using a relative's ID. As of now they don't care to check if the ID or Picture matches the social media profile, I guess they (social media platforms) only care about complying even if the implementation is flawy
