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

    Like moat things I do, I recommend trying half-heartedly. It seems like it’s bothering you at least a little, or you wouldn’t have posted about it. Try, and if it’s too much work don’t worry about it, but at least you tried. it’s the rare person that doesn’t have any personaly info on the web. Even rarer the person who’s data hasn’t been leaked by PSN, OPN, T-Mobile, or hundreds of others.

      I was notified about 3 or 4 breaches just last year, some from companies I’d never even heard of but had my info.

        Removing your data as a normie won’t be flagged. If you’re a celebrity, yea, you’ll may hit the Sreisand Effect. But as a normie, nah, plenty of people remove their data for a load of reasons all the time.
