False.

The source of the info is public-record, not the U. S. Census. In fact, you could have found your info from these types of websites LONG before the 2020 Census. In fact, you can find your (as well as your friends, neighbors', and others') info in your jurisdiction's voter-search page. (I found my ex-bosses, as well as co-workers, childhood-friends, high-school classmates, etc. in the N. C. Board of Elections voter-search page!)

Personally, I found my data back in 2015. Was it disturbing? Yes. But was it the Census Bureau?

NOT FALSE.
I always search myself ever since my highschool teacher told me to do it to see what would show up.
And up to this age, nothing still had ever showed up.. and just a few weeks ago i filled out the census, and suddenly everything I put on the census has now magically appeared.. and the people whom I listed are also showing there in relation to me... if you had already seen your information online before, it is because you had already been listed on a census before... This is my first time, and tada! there i am on the internet with the rest of you.

it's disgusting how they tell us we have privacy but we really do not. and they do sell our information through one application or another.. be it a free gaming app or whatever free app on your phone or other means such as filling out the census.

「if you had already seen your information online before, it is because you had already been listed on a census before」
False there. I wasn't born here, so the 2020 Census is our 1st ever when we were invited and responded. Last 2010, the Census Bureau didn't even bother to send anything to us. We were still in the Philippines back in 2000.

Yet, I already saw my data online in the N. C. Board of Elections voter-search as soon as we became U. S. citizens and registered to vote. From there, I now know where my ex-coworkers live, which parties' ballots they used to vote in past elections, etc.

All these private/corporate websites do is aggregate the data that's already there. Social-media is also a great source of data to collect, since people voluntarily spew everything about their lives there.

It is true that your info is out there in the Internet. But as to the source… that will be more difficult to know for certain. I am a private person (who even deleted his social-media-accounts), yet there are all sorts of things about me in the Internet… years before the 2020 Census, and even if I personally never responded to the 2020 Census. (Another family-member filled the form.)

And remember the Yellow Pages phonebook (that isn't connected to the U. S. Census Bureau)? It's online now:
https://www.yellowpages.com/ (for businesses & people)
https://www.whitepages.com/ (made esp. for people)

Your data has been online long before 2020.

[Asker]

Exactly.. to come to USA you had to give your information to the government... same thing. That’s why you were on there. I was born here and had never filled out anything like that or given my information for anything to do with government.. therefore you’re wrong.. or do you really think they magically know where you live, your emails and phone numbers...

they obtain it and then they sell it to third parties
Think a little.

[Asker]

I was also never on the yellow pages I remember I used to look at those as well. Never listed and I had phone numbers

If you've got a drivers' license, your data is available in your jurisdiction's D. M. V. website without the agency 'selling' it to their own website. If you're registered to vote, does your local board of elections 'sell' your data to their own website? Do you 'sell' your data to Facebook? Why would anyone (esp. for-profit companies) pay for something readily available FOR FREE?

The info is already out there. Programmers can easily design mechanisms for accumulating the data, differentiating the info of similarly-named individuals, and presenting them all online in non-government websites. This is useful to marketers (like for-profit Facebook & Google, who aggregate and data-mine people's freely-provided personal-info and sell them to marketers of products & services). Governments (which are non-profit organizations) release 'public data' open for all… for FREE.

As for the U. S. Census, they are legally supposed to collect the mass-collected personal-info, use them to create national numbers & conclusions, and then purge the personally-identifying data. Considering all the local (ex. county board of elections), State (D. M. V.), and Federal agencies (I. R. S. & Social Security Administration) amassing people's data in their online databases, the same outcomes would still be reached even if 1, lone Federal agency purged their accumulated personal-data according to Federal law. And no money would be paid to them (other than our taxes), since no company with reasonable executives will offer to pay for free, publicly-available stuff.

Edit: "Programmers (like the web-developers of the website you posted, as well as the masses sites like them) can easily design mechanisms for accumulating the data (from government public-records & social-media), differentiating the info of similarly-named individuals, and presenting them all online in their own non-government websites."

The point is, I had always searched myself with my full name or nickname or shortened name, everything! And nothing ever showed up.. then i filled out the census and exactly how I put my name I. There is how it shows up online now along with all the people I listed myself on there that I supposedly live with.. all the ones I listed are showing next to my name as possible “relatives”.. and also their names show up exactly how I listed them and the ages I posed I even made a mistake on one of them and it shows the birthday I wrote on there.. the census sells our information wether you want to continue denying it or not it’s clearly fact.

[N192K001]

Your point is understood, but it is wrong.

Again, who will PAY for FREE INFO‽ Why pay for info easily found on Facebook, the YellowPages, etc?

For Pete's sake you can look at court documents from this government-website:
https://www.uscourts.gov/court-records
And this company created a website to aggregate that FREE info, plus more:
https://staterecords.org/

Hell, the U. S. Federal Government even provides a listing of its FREE info here:
https://www.usa.gov/genealogy
WHY pay for something FREE‽ Even if the U. S. Census Bureau offered their info for a price, they'd get almost nothing, since other agencies will provide the same or complementary info for free.

[N192K001]

Seriously, search your name in the the cited company website StateRecords. org, and see their presented sources:
https://staterecords.org/
Do those look like Federal census-forms… or State deeds, filled State voter-registration forms, local driving-violation tickets, etc?

Did you know all your info is shared no matter what u think?

[Asker]

Of course but I had always searched for myself in many ways in different way and bother ever showed up.. ever. And now after filling out this census it magically shows up alongside all the names I listed as well as “possible” relatives.

[mrgspoter]

I'm not on that list I type me in and I don't exist, I think that's good yeah? Or is it I'm in UK

Email the site and request them to remove your personal information due to previous issues with dealing with stalkers. I did it with a whitepages site and it worked.
