Thanks, Louis DeJoy.

USPS sells this information for mail advertising. If you don’t want to be included in that, you can opt out via USPS.

Fill out Form 1500 and drop it by a post office to be removed from ad lists. It’s free.

And they wouldn’t have to sell ad space if they actually got funding

A kneecap here, a hobbling there… well USPS, you ain’t lookin so hot. Might need to cut your funding. Again.

Why the fuck is DeJoy still there again???

Form 1500 is involving unwanted sexually oriented mail. How does it stop spam? You have to provide specific mailings you want to stop.

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

This is about tracking pixels.

GOP policies functioning as designed.

braindefragger ,

GOP loves to target useful government programs that help normal folks.

  1. Slash the funding and try to install leaders that may favor GOP policies.
  2. Point to the project and the talk about how poor of a job they’re doing.
  3. Slash the funding again.
  4. Point to the project and the talk about how poor of a job they’re doing.
  5. Slash the funding again.
  6. Point to the project and the talk about how poor of a job they’re doing. …

Your postal address is displayed right there at the top of the page when you’re signed in and looking at the “dashboard,” so it’s readily available bold as brass for anyone to scrape. The real question is, why was third party code even allowed to be served with that page? What possible benefit could it serve the user to have Meta and LinkedIn tracking pixels on their postal mail dashboard?

That was a rhetorical question. The answer is money, and how much of it those social media/tech companies were paying the Postal Service to allow them to do it – end user be damned. The notion that the USPS was “unaware” of this reeks so bad that you could smell it from space.

i’d be more shocked if a government agency (outside the DOD) managed NOT to leak my data.

No need to qualify that statement.
