Swimming Pools, Pee, and Trying to Delete Your Data From the Internet
Troy Hunt argues that data removal services are fundamentally limited in their effectiveness. While they can successfully request removal from legally operating data brokers, they are completely powerless against malicious actors, dark web leak sites, and the viral replication of breached data across Telegram channels and hacking forums. Using the analogy of trying to remove pee from a swimming pool, he explains why once data from a breach like ShinyHunters spreads, it can never truly be erased. This is why he declines partnership requests from data removal companies on Have I Been Pwned — they simply cannot address the worst-case scenarios that HIBP users actually face.
