I have moved twice recently for a job. The first move was temporary and opted for the online change of address. Due to the rush of everything I didn't really pay much attention to the immediate increase in robocalls. 8-10 calls a day.
Granted that is anecdotal.
On the final move I went back to the USPS website and noticed I was required to agree to the terms that they can sell my new address and phone number. I emailed the USPS regarding those terms on a Saturday afternoon and the next morning received a response that it is not really possible.
Long story short: On a Sunday, the USPS emailed me that I would have to visit a post office to fill out a change of address form just to "opt out" of the selling of my info.
