       | money to remain anonymous, _some_ portion of your information
       | gets leaked online eventually and easily. It is a constant never-
       | ending effort leading to (but not ending with) not having Amazon
       | packages come to your house in your true name, registering your
       | mortgage, utilities, and internet in other name(s) or businesses
       | (which is no simple feat in itself), and risking all that work
       | getting lost because you slipped once and updated your credit
       | card address.

       | The data removal services/sites may give temporary relief once,
       | but the next time something flags an upload or update again
       | you're right back to where you started. Michael Bazzell [1] has
       | deep knowledge of what it takes and has published books on it,
       | and it gets harder and more disrupting as time goes on, to where
       | unless you're hiding from a known target or stalker it is almost
       | not worth it.
