Hi Glenn,
I had recently wrote you about a privacy concern.

I had another thought, though: What if I had Mom close her existing online accounts and and then start over creating new accounts using a random name and the Privacy cards to go with that name. What do you think? It's better than trying to change her name on existing accounts, because sites would know it's still Mom, but trying to be someone else, and they might have a problem with that, right? Thanks.
Hi Monica, yes, changing her names on existing accounts won't change those accounts from being connected to her. Starting up new accounts is the only way to do it. But be aware that big tech doesn't like you hiding from them and they will make it hard for you.
