`auto-identity-remove` automates data broker opt-outs across desktop OSes

A privacy chore is turning into a repeatable automation workflow. Useful as a signal for paid personal-data removal tools, though execution risk is high.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Searches broker sites using name and region, then automates opt-out form submission. The value is workflow automation, not a new privacy database.
  2. Targets monthly removal from 500+ people-search and data broker databases. Recurring execution makes subscription packaging natural.
  3. Broker-specific search and profile matching imply brittle automation. Maintenance cost will decide whether this stays a tool or becomes a service.
