Remove personnal infos or keep it? (lemmy.ml)

I need your opinion on this problem:

My personnal infos are on the web, is it better to try to have them removed or simply ignored it?

Basically I'm wondering if trying to remove it would not make me shine outside of the crowd more than juste leave it and act as simple citizen

And, warning, these infos are not compromising but they are personnaly infos

You could poison it with junk info. Make it useless.

This is surely one of the best option but its time hungry to setup, read this reply: https://lemmy.ml/comment/18649355 What do you think?

I don't think that's very effective these days. There are so many sources of publicly available information for sites to verify against that this attempt at "poisoning the well", so to speak, would be drowned out.
