tholtken··on Mozilla Monitor Plus: automatically remove your personal info from data brokers
not affiliated with Optery but agree conflict of interest, also misleading by onerep and at best deceptive. take that potential lack of trust together with the several reports online that onerep's us operation is a sham and they are really operating out of eastern europe and sending user data there...seems shady. begs the question: what does a privacy-respecting org like Mozilla see in onerep and how is it better than what other companies offer?

What does this even mean? How does Mozilla know what benefits me, the user?

Especially with a backend service provider (onerep.com) that is questionable at best.
