Delete yourself from the internet by pressing this button

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.

Am I the last person on earth without a Google account? Who doesn’t use Facebook or Twitter? Or any so-called “social media?” Am I alone?

Nope. I have none of those either. I’m not even sure what twitter is.

It does not matter. Even if you have never signed up for any kind of online account, your information is still out there. If you buy a house, it is public record. Other things are public record, as well. Public records are on the internet. I can find out every place I have resided for the last 20 years by googling myself.
