2022 — a map, drawn by hand

The original talk made one argument: everyone is discoverable, you can find what is out there about yourself, and you can do something about it. It was a map and a to-do list — go look, then file removals one at a time.

Presenter notes

Here is the honest starting point, and the 2022 talk is on record. It was an awareness talk: your footprint is bigger than you think, the data brokers and people-search sites are indexing you, and the remedy was manual — pull your reports, find the errors, send the letters yourself. Everything true in that talk is still true. What was missing was leverage: one determined person filing disputes by hand does not scale, and the people who most need the help are the least able to spend a weekend on it.
