What don't you like about IVPN? Audited, open source, great reputation. I don't even use them but seems odd to count them out.

"I've searched the web for my name, home, and phone number. Haven't found anything on myself yet."

All this means is your not very good at finding that info. You even stated there are 53 pending brokers, meaning that info is available online.

"Your information is already out there"

This is kind of an odd line of reasoning to hide behind. One one hand you are willing to pay to have your data removed, on the other hand you don't mind a service actively handing over data because its "already out there"

Again this isnt specific to easyoptouts. Other data removal services do this as well. It would be less of an issue if once your data is removed its permanent but there is nothing stopping brokers from re-adding you, and now your on the radar of new brokers.

The only concern with easyoptouts is they will send requests to brokers they are not sure of, which can lead to data brokers who had no data on you now being sent it. This is not a specific problem for them, as other services do this as well.

You can go to inteltechniques and peruse their data removal guide. That is basically a massive list of brokers / sites that may have your data.

What would even be the need for this extension? Safari automatically switches sites from HTTP to HTTPS if available.

This extension is kind of a fossil at this point as almost every browser does this on its own. Not to mention its not 2004, you shouldnt be running into a lot of http sites anyway.

Tor is the best option of anonymity but, its bad opsec that you really have to worry about. There is no platform that can save you from yourself.

The irony in not being able to pirate a game from the publishers of "Rise of Piracy"

I think you and your girlfriend should read about "threat modeling". You need to figure out what you and her are trying to keep private and from whom. Without knowing that, its impossible to say if a VPN is a good solution.

For example if she is trying to hide her web traffic from her ISP then a VPN is a great solution, if she is trying to be annoymous on the web then a VPN won't do much as you are still easily fingerprintable amongst other things.

People all to often act like privacy is some sort of list of sub items that you can check off like completing a quest in a MMO.

Each individual's privacy goals are different, privacy is not a one size fits all problem or solution. Your girlfriends needs may be drastically different then your own.

This on reddit ended up being super helpful for my needs.

I would break it up into different catagories.

Your interest in digital privacy is something you can use to talk about your interests and what drives you.

The skills you learned from it is something you could use to supplement how you have progressed other relevant skills for your degree or job your applying to. Be specific about what you did and what it taught you and how its relevant.

What do you mean by premium? Not sure tpb was ever a "premium" torrent site.

If your just looking for other torrent sites to use, check the megathread.
