    I can’t wait for the lawsuits, when we discover over 60% of the companies didn’t respect the request and still gathered our data. Then we all get our checks for $3.50 and a year’s worth of free credit monitoring… /s

      At this rate we’ll have free credit monitoring for life! Will it help when it detects someone used your sensitive information to take out a huge loan in your name? Fuck no! They’ll just tell you it happened and that you should do something about it.
