They buy profiling information from data brokers. Cataloging online accounts is one of the services they offer.

I feel like, the reason is in the text in itself and the ML software flagged it, because it's to similar to fake reviews..

Any idea who these brokers are? How do we opt out

Californians can opt out but you have to go to every company and there are dozens. Start with the big ones like Acxiom and Bluekai.

Many of them collect their data via third-party scripts so you should ensure those are blocked.
