Remove your phone number from sites that sell personal data
A user in Missouri asked Grok Bot to remove his phone number from every site that looks people up and sells their contact details. The bot found him on 6 such sites and filed a removal request with all of them within 20 minutes. He did not have to hunt down the forms himself, but 4 of the 6 sites rejected him within minutes. His state has very little privacy law, so they do not have to comply, he writes.

How to do it
- Paste the prompt into the tool, and replace the text in brackets with your own.
- Read the answer through. Do not send, delete or publish anything until you have seen it yourself.
- Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.
Try it with Grok Bot
Find out which websites show my phone number, my address or my name together with contact details. Make a list with a link to each listing and how the site accepts removal requests. Do not give out more personal information than the site already has. Show me the list before you submit anything. You are done when every request has been filed or rejected, and I have an overview of which sites I should check again in a few months.
