Snowden warned us but nobody listened! The "deep state" called him a traitor, I say "whistle blower"!

After clicking on my name and spending 5 minutes watching it load it asked for my name, email and such. Hard pass. Oh I could put in a fake name and use my junk email address but their privacy policy sounded like they will just use this site to track me. I had run across this site before, and seemed like you were able to get some info without going through a registration process?

Yes, I didn't register or anything, just clicked on the mylife link in the Duck Duck Go search results. I could add a name at the top of mylife for more detail, but that is when it started to go all shystee, loading those weird pages. I didn't go there.

Just for grins, put in MyLife lawsuits into DDG. Looks like the owner got slapped down: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/government-obtains-settlement-injunctive-relief-and-millions-consumer-redress-mylifecom-and

In the complaint filed on July 27, 2020, the government alleged that the defendants sold subscriptions to their website’s consumer background report service by implying, often falsely, that individuals had criminal records that could be viewed only by buying a subscription. According to the complaint, the defendants also misrepresented or failed to disclose material terms of those subscriptions, including that payment for multiple months was charged upfront, that subscriptions would automatically renew, and that the subscription or automatic renewal could be cancelled only by calling a customer service center that prevented or discouraged cancellations. The complaint also alleged that defendants were violating FCRA because they promoted use of their background reports, and knew consumers used the reports, for employment decisions, tenant screening or other prohibited purposes, but they lacked reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of their background reports or to determine who was using them and why. For all claims, the government sought civil penalties, consumer redress and injunctive relief from both MyLife and Tinsley.

Oh...and I am sure the government made it SO much better by slapping them. Because, they make everything better, don't they?

They were just jealous that Tinsley was a better spy than they were.

Interesting! Hubs came up, but no me out there. Lots of people with my exact name, but they're not me. Should I feel left out?

Why you lucky little lady! Nice. Erased. Never feel left out. I was going to go and rate you too. Darn.

It's actually kinda weird. My full name, as well as my first name, middle initial, and last name comes up 100 times. (That in and of itself makes me sad. Really? There are that many "me's" out there...Thought my name was just oh-so unique and special...😂) I looked over the names and ages twice. Nope. Not there. Some close in age, but in parts of the country I've never been, so yeah. No me out there on mylife.com.
