I posted this on the Substack, but At one point, I entered the wrong address when I was forwarding my mail. As a result, I got my mail sent to a strangers PO Box. As a side effect, I then began to receive Informed Delivery for this stranger to this very day. In addition, I once had the Post Office disable my address. It was like a 101B address and they didn’t consider it legitimate with the city. As a result, they were unable to forward mail when I left that house, and once again, and they were unable to disable the informed consent for this house. As a result of this, I see every piece of mail that two separate strangers receive. I have gone to the post office a half dozen times in the last 5 years to try to disable this, and have repeatedly been told there is absolutely nothing that can be done.

You can solve this. Contact your federal senators and/or federal house reps, and tell them that USPS is sending pictures of other peoples' mail. Or if you dont want to do that, then contact USPS Office of Inspector General. uspsoig.gov/ The IG's are absolutely terrifying if you're on the wrong side. And you're 100% in the right, and they're in the wrong.

  Terrifying? What was your experience with an IG?

    Anytime you are a counterparty to Fed law enforcement, not fun.

  It depends on which organization they're in. Plenty of them think of their job as legal PR, finding the loosest precedent they can to justify the organizations actions as accepted and legal. I've never understood why departments are reporting to themselves and not an independent inspector. Granted, politicians and the people they appoint will do anything to justify their actions, even across organizations, but it might open the door for political opponents to call each other out, on their bad actions.
