A sizable part of our online experience today is, unfortunately, warding off spam emails, calls, and messages. These may seem harmless and only a nuisance at first but can lead to identify theft, financial fraud, and/or harassment for the unaware.
Advertisers and marketing companies are in constant need of our personal information so that they can target us with ads and generate an income, even if that comes at the cost of our privacy, and they're aided by data brokers who are the ones actually scraping all the data.
