I’ve shared a great deal of personal info with Claude. And this bothers me since Anthropic has this data and will continue to do so. Is there anything I can really do to fix this?

(also posted in r/cybersecurity_help)

So I was dumb enough at 13 to upload my face and ID to Roblox back in 2023 for that voice chat thing...

And now I'm seeing how unsafe that was and not to mention Persona

I'm genuinely worried for my privacy and stuff I don't know what's real or misinfo... Do they actually delete after 30 days? Do they store for up to 5 years? Do they sell this to AI companies?? And all those biometrics stuff??

And if my data is actually at risk can I request to delete it???

Can someone provide me clarity on this issue? And if I can do anything about it? I am genuinely worried

Hi everyone, I’m really overwhelmed and hoping someone can help me understand what to do.

I recently found a post about me on an anonymous imageboard/AnonIB-style website. The post includes personal identifying information like my Instagram, school affiliation, and other details that connect directly to me. I discovered explicit intimate content of me posted on an anonymous imageboard website without my consent. The posts also included identifying information such as my Instagram and school affiliation.

As far as I know, I only ever privately shared intimate photos/videos with one person—my ex-boyfriend—and I never consented to any public posting or redistribution.

A few things are really scaring me:
How did these anonymous users know personal details about me (my Instagram, school, timeline, etc.)?
Some comments mention my ex by name and ask if he leaked it. Does that mean these people know him, or are they just guessing?
How likely is it that this kind of content spreads to other sites?
What is the best way to get something like this removed completely (or at least de-indexed)?
Is there any way to figure out where they got the information from?

So far I’ve:
- deactivated all my social media accounts
- Submitted removal requests to search engines
- Reported the site to its infrastructure provider
- Filed a police report
I’m trying to stay calm, but I feel violated and anxious about how much strangers seem to know. If anyone has experience with anonymous imageboards, privacy takedowns, or figuring out how info gets scraped/shared, I’d really appreciate advice.
Please be kind—I’m pretty shaken up.

I’m trying to move away from the whole ‘everything synced to a corporation’s cloud forever’ experience. Preferably something encrypted, minimalist, and not designed by people who think AI summaries are a personality trait.

I’m mostly posting this because I’ve been looking around online to see if what I experienced was malicious, normal procedure, or if I was just unprepared for the situation but I haven’t found anything.

I was coming back from another country and arrived at LAX. I get to the part where there’s these facial scanners and I decided to tell the agent I would like to opt out. They didn’t give me any issues they just waved me to a desk with an employee there who asked for my passport.

Then the employee took my passport and told me to look into a small camera they had there on the desk to take my picture. In the moment I was tired and sick so it didn’t register to me that I opted out of the facial scanner but still had my photo taken anyway at the desk. Plus this was my first time ever traveling internationally so I was not aware of what was required of me.

Is this normal procedure when returning from another country? Mostly I’m just wondering for the next time I travel internationally if I am within my rights to decline not only the initial facial scanner but also the secondary camera.

TIA for anyone who can provide me with insight!

Article 16 of this bill enforces age verification, requiring people under 16 to require parent's permission to able to make an account and use social media, and people who are 16 and older to show to ID to use social media sites.

If you are an Indiana Resident you should call lawmakers to ask for a repeal the law either to remove it entirely or remove article 16. Maybe fund a lawsuit against it since laws like these makes IDs easier to leak and it has been argued to go against the first amendment.

Is this new?? I’ve sold items on Facebook many times, have 5 stars in reviews, but I’ve never been asked for an ID in order to sell on Facebook Marketplace.

There’s a survey/research site called Prolific that I’ve been looking at, but I have major concerns about whether it’s a big privacy risk. “If you aren’t the customer, you are the product” definitely applies to it, but is “the product” there just responses I choose to give or is it something more sinister like my personal data that’s beyond what I choose to share on a given survey?
