Terry Pratchett wrote, “Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?” but I don’t think he had data brokers in mind when he wrote it in 2004.
But they can’t make money off of you if you’re dead
The data brokers can still sell your data, it’s just a lot less useful to the marketing teams or scam artists that are buying it in bulk. For identity thieves, it may become more valuable, at least until word of your death works its way through the system, as there’s no living person to contest the impersonation.
