PSA; Anyone can edit the content of mylife.com
Freepers need to quit taking mylife info as valid. People are going there and changing political/religious affiliation to push an agenda. The site is just BS
Here, I've logged in and edited the El Paso shooter's info but I doubt the edit will last. It was set to Republican/Christian naturally.
Below, I'm simply logged in and you can see all the pencil(edit) icons on the right and elsewhere. Notice political/religious affiliation - rep/Christian
Below, I've edited but not saved as shown by the SAVE EDIT button
Saved edit
Here, I went back and added "Patrick's Bio" "Summary" info stating that anyone can edit this stuff. I also changed Religion to Atheist as I had forgotten to do that earlier. (I also went back and changed Political Party to None after taking screen shots)
This has bee a PSA so we don't freak out over mylife stuff and look like dummies.
This is the page - https://www.mylife.com/patrick-crusius/joemartinp42258hh Page name/link is strange. I'm thinking someone named, Joe Martin, who was an account may have crated the Patrick Crusius page. I'm not 100% sure how the whole site works but I do know anyone who's logged in, can edit that page or any page that's not owned by a paying subscriber. I have a page myself, as does my whole family, including my dead parents. Most of these come from mylife scrubbing public records. If you want to Lock the info so that no one can change it, you have to pay for a premium account. Quite a lowlife business model
Aaaand someone’s already changed it.
Good info, thx. Don’t do yourself a disservice. This is way better than any vanity I’ve seen.
Just found the mylife webpage. It was back to Democrat.
I hit refresh and - voila! - it was changed again, with some Democrat screed posted.
Hit refresh again, and it was changed to Independent.
It seems people are fighting over that page.
If anyone can edit those webpages, that explains the misinformation found on them too often.
My sister tried when we saw our parents info but they won’t do anything and there’s nothing illegal since it’s all public info.
There may be some way to take control of your own page without paying but I’m sure you’d have to prove who you are, thereby giving them more info than you care to.
Gotta love this “information age”

People running on the internet to identify mass murders are ghouls.
Yesterday I saw people rushing on to identify this clown in El Paso and they were putting up links to people who not only were NOT this guy, they were putting up links to “not this guy’s” family.
The old folk on FR are really getting tedious with their knee jerk reactions, jumping to conclusions, and Alex Jones Bullshit conspiracy theories.
They are quick to point out how everything is a Deep State conspiracy—ridiculing the “conspiracy” theorists that do the shooting. And at the same time, they spew all sorts of evil stuff on the internet that could harm innocent people.
Just because lots of information might be available, it does not require that you jump right in and dox some poor bastard in Alabama...and his family.
When Son of Sam was running around, did you spend time at public library doing Lexus/Nexus searches on everything. No...you did not.
Knock it off now.
That needed to be said.
I don’t care what anyone knows or thinks about me, though I do take care of my hair better then balloon comb Bernie
I have a buddy that keeps sending me references for people on mylife. They are almost always wrong.
Oh, a reliable source then? :-)
The only question is: What did it say before anyone knew who he was? i.e. before the shooting.
Yeah. FR has been a real nut farm this weekend over disinformation and speculation.
ROTFLMAO!
Latest home value on that page, and latest purchase price are both $666
Very creative and true. . .
OK
