There should be a free and fast way to consistently identify personal information online and remove it. The tech exists in the open source intelligence community - all we need to do is re-fit it for individual benefit.
Using sites like: HIBP, Sherlock, Shodan, Maltego etc
What everyone might not hate... 1. Verifiability by sharing sites scanned, info found, and aggregate progress / improvement 2. Doesn’t claim to secure accounts it can’t 3. Free 4. Actionable so you can request information be taken down, report incidences to the government, participate in class action claims, know if a site re-posts information it shouldn’t 5. Works with minimal information like email

I'm currently using a password manager which helps, but I feel like I'm letting things fall through the cracks like updating each site's privacy settings or removing unused accounts.
How do other people manage this?
