The Minnesota shooter allegedly researched several “people search” sites in an attempt to target his victims, highlighting the potential dangers of widely available personal data.
I’ve been using a service to automatically opt out of these sites for about a year now. I also don’t use my full last name when I buy things online anymore, and use VOIP phone numbers and anonaddy/simplelogub emails.

I’ve used both Mozilla monitor and optery. Both are a bit slow on the removals, but they get the job done. I’ve used optery for the past year. Unsure if there’s a better one at this point or not.
