The online opt-outs, once completed, take anywhere from a month to a year to be fully removed from Google and other search engines. Besides opting out of the database for each site, you’ll notice other sites will have you removed from their databases, too. Please be aware, though, this doesn’t hinder the government in any significant way or hurts your chances of getting a job. This only prevents civilians from doxing you or attacking you offline. Another thing to note is that legitimate businesses go through government sponsored and/or maintained databases to do background checks. Note: As of this date, each of these sites and their opt-outs should work, however these sites (to keep people from opting out) tend to change either their opt-outs or their websites. If something doesn’t work or has changed, send the Paranoid’s Bible team a message on our blog!
