This reminds me of those "MyLife" low-lifes who mine the internet on everyone's "behalf" and then email people telling them they have a "negative reputation".

This reminds me of those "MyLife" low-lifes who mine the internet on everyone's "behalf" and then email people telling them they have a "negative reputation". It's possible to remove yourself so that your name does not appear when someone searches on MyLife.com by making a tedious phone-call to their call-center in India, but then they email you EVERY DAY with offers to clean up your online reputation for some fee. The vengeance griefer in the NYT story is obviously a deranged crazy, but one person can only do so much. The guy who started MyLife however, Jeffrey Tinsley, is a multi-millionaire who has successfully gotten venture capital funding-- and causes grief on an internet-scale. I wish there would be more media take-downs of MyLife, Classmates, Radaris, other scummy operations. Even better, I would expect that GDPR rules put in place for the USA would put these people out of business?
