Are there people search websites available in the EU? If so, why can’t I sign up for DeleteMe or similar services to remove my personal information from these websites
In sweden, those records are public and nothing you can do about as a swedish citizen. What goes in the rest of the EU I don’t know.

Wow
It’s from a time where we didn’t have digital contact lists and no internet. So what if you want to call the bakery down the street? You look up a public record like YellowPages. And the same was true for people too. I know it’s hard to imagine now with plenty of Indian call centers social engineering grandma, but the only real “wow”here is why they didn’t change this yet.
We have public records with name, address and phone number where i live. If you don’t want to be searchable in this registry, you just login to citizens self-service (or go to townhall if you don’t want to/can’t do it yourself online) and select that you want “secret address”, and your info is purged from the list. No need to go through weird and semi-sketchy third parties to get it done. I’m not sure how other EU countries deal with this.
