The internet can be a beautiful and horrible place at the same time, and it isn’t weird to sometimes feel like you want to leave — there’s wasn’t an easy way out, until now.
Swedish developers Wille Dahlbo and Linus Unnebäck created Deseat.me, which offers a way to wipe your entire existence off the internet in a few clicks.
When logging into the website with a Google account it scans for apps and services you’ve created an account for, and creates a list of them with easy delete links.
Every account it finds gets paired with an easy delete link pointing to the unsubscribe page for that service. Within in a few clicks you’re freed from it, and depending on how long you need to work through the entire list, you can be account-less within the hour.
If you’re getting tired of social media and internet-induced stress in general, it’s the quickest way to get back to a state of tranquility — and to be honest, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea.
:)!! I don’t use texting, either. Technology has gone right over my head. Oh, well.
“Delete yourself from the internet by pressing this button”
A lie on several counts.
1. This does not wipe your entire existence off the internet.
2. Works only for services you’ve created an account for.
3. “Within in a few clicks” contradicts “by pressing this button”.
4. Cannot be done. There are links, links to links, quotations of pages, cached pages. You might be mentioned in any one of these.
5. You might be in a database. This will not get you deleted from the database.
Hype = lie.
Am I alone?”
Nope. No one here uses Facebook, Twitter, Linked In or any of the other so-called social media links. Never have, never will.

Don’t think your personal data is not on the internet. Search your name and see if you show up on MyLife. I have never joined Facebook, Twitter or MyLife. FReep, have email, that’s it.
This is scary and you have to pay for them to delete your personal information. Despicable. We can all be hacked and scammed.

See my post #47 I meant to copy you. Check the MyLife site. It might be worth another thread.
Thanks for this one.

there's was too!
Ha Ha!
Decided long ago that if anyone wants information on anyone it is somewhere on the internet. I didn’t join Facebook and other social media sites because I don’t need to “reach out and touch someone”.
FR feeds my need for up-to-date knowledge, emails from my clients keeps my bank account somewhat healthy, frequent calls from my family and close friends keeps me from worrying about them and conversations with God feed my soul.
