>>MyLife pulls together vast amounts of public data to create background reports and “reputation scores” on millions of people in the US, all available to those willing to pay for a monthly membership.

What they call a subscription fee is a protection shakedown fee and a way for them to sell information about you to other people.

The only way you can get some of these sites to suppress or delete some information is to pay them. That is a shakedown racket and illegal.

And these sites have fraudulent information. Listing marriages that never happen and arrests that never happened.

The state of Florida lists detailed voter information online. Name, address, DOB, party affiliation, etc. Easy enough for these businesses to scrape that data. Only legislation will stop these website shake down artists.
