"Mozilla Launches Automated Personal Data Removal Service for Data Broker Sites"
Mozilla has launched a new paid subscription service called Mozilla Monitor Plus, which offers privacy monitoring and data removal from over 190 sites where brokers sell information gathered from online sources. The service, priced at $8.99 per month, aims to automatically remove users' information when found, partnering with a company called Onerep to perform scans and takedown requests. Basic Monitor members will receive a free scan and one-time removal sweep, while Plus members will have continual monthly data broker scans. Mozilla's reputation as a privacy-first subsidiary of the open-source nonprofit Mozilla Foundation adds credibility to the service.
