Data removal is no longer optional, it’s essential. In recent coverage, the suspect in the Minnesota lawmaker shootings reportedly used data broker sites to pull public officials’ personal addresses and compile hunting lists. That reality should alarm everyone. What threatens public figures today can threaten any one of us tomorrow.
The clear danger of data broker exposure
Privacy advocates call the case “proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly”. People-search platforms and data brokers collect countless public and private records, everything from your address to family connections. Then they sell that to anyone. That includes potential stalkers, political extremists, or identity thieves.
Why most opt‑out tools fall short
Basic opt-out services often leave your data floating in the ether until it resurfaces. They force you to navigate complex forms and track request confirmations on dozens of broker sites. Meanwhile, your data remains visible and exploitable. VALT flips that model.

Why VALT matters more after Minnesota
