No place to hide.

Better to go Amish and off grid or to outer Mongolia.

I was having the conversation with my kids the other day. It's difficult to wrap your head around the concept, but 100 years from now their great-great grandchildren will still be able to, with a few keyboard clicks, easily discover that in June 2017 great-great grandma "went to the beach with her BFF and got SO wasted". Take that a step farther, her descendants 500 years from now will STILL be able to easily discover that same information. Basically anything you post on the internet will be there until the end of humanity, be that in a century or a billion years....

Except that due to "data rot", chances are that the data will not even be accessible in 50 years.

And most of it will not be true.
