  • I read your post and reply below and am surprised that your info never showed back up online.

    I tried this myself about a year ago back when Google first announced they would also add a tool to assist in removal of unnecessary info like this.

    I found that I was able to remove about 70% that never came back.

    10-15 percent more, whether they were via Google or whatever, would flat out refuse to remove the info for various reasons.

    The remainder would often remove it only for me to find it later with some sort of ‘change’ and that being - they put the info back in and had changed the spelling of my last name or now had me listed as a business so as to get around certain privacy listing rules (like WTF).



















  • My company did a similar 3rd party app on their phones for truck drivers, to cut down on driving distractions and within days they had all figured ways around the software and were back to watching videos while driving.

    If people (or kids) want a way around they will find it. There have been too many examples that can be found already of them getting around similar software.

    Best go with the ‘non smart’ phone to begin with the simply eliminate the issue altogether.
