I'm not sure I want to do this myself, but it's pretty interesting.

Delete yourself from the internet by pressing this button

by Juan Buis — 1 day ago

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.

It could be useful as the executor for a deceased netizen. I can't imagine how large of a footprint I would have after 20+ years on the internet

I wonder that myself, as I've been on-line since March of 1983. Whole lot of footprints since then.

Wait.... There was an interweb in 1983?
My high school graduation year....

I am guessing on-line in the sense of using dial up modems and bulletin boards. Been there done that, except that I didn't start until sometime around 1990.

I'm not much worried about my net use before 1994. I was mostly one of the nerds in my parents basement, using BBS chat rooms to discuss comic books, play text adventures and D&D.

Actually, in looking at it, it appears to be a bunch of nothing. All it will do is give you the links to how to close accounts that you have opened using your Google login information. If you have opened accounts using other login IDs, it won't find them and even if you follow all the links and close all the accounts, it doesn't actually "delete" anything.
