Deleting myself from the internet
The internet has been collecting scraps of me for over a decade: data broker listings, old accounts, leaked breach records, profiles I forgot existed. This is the first project I'm building in public for Hopsy SV: an attempt to map that footprint properly, remove as much of it as the law and each platform actually allow, and be honest about what can't be removed.
I picked this to go first because it's real. It's my own data and my own risk if it goes wrong, and the result is easy to check: either the listing is gone or it isn't. No client under NDA, no cherry-picked case study.
Finding where personal data actually lives, and automating the removal requests once you know, are exactly the kind of problems AI is genuinely useful for: reading a page to work out if it's really about you, filling out an opt-out form correctly, and tracking which sites quietly re-list you a few months later.
Code and write-ups will go up on GitHub as pieces of it are actually working, not after the fact.
Following along, or got a similar problem you want automated and written up honestly? Send the brief.
