The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
This article presents an open-source GitHub tool called "auto-identity-remove" that automates the process of opting out of data broker and people-search websites. The script runs monthly on macOS and Linux, searches 500+ data broker sites for a user's personal information, fills out opt-out forms, solves CAPTCHAs using AI-powered CapSolver (~$0.001 per solve), and tracks completed opt-outs to avoid redundant submissions. It also sends desktop notifications when finished. The tool is designed to help users reclaim their privacy by systematically removing personal data from data broker databases.
