Automated data broker opt-out runner — removes your personal info from 30+ people-search sites on a monthly schedule - stephenlthorn/auto-identity-remove
Summary

An open-source Node.js tool automates opt-outs from 500+ data broker sites on macOS, using Playwright and CapSolver (AI-powered, ~$0.001/solve) for CAPTCHAs. It tracks opt-out state with a 90-day re-check window, runs monthly via launchd, and sends iMessage summaries. Personal info stays local in gitignored config files.
