Delete yourself from the internet with this website
« on: December 15, 2016, 11:49:54 AM »
Developers in Sweden have created a website that can help you delete your online presence with just a few clicks.

Available at Deseat.me, Wille Dahlbo and Linus Unnebäck designed the internet deletion site as a place for people to "clean up your internet presence".

The service lets you see all of the websites you're signed up to or have accounts for and asks if you'd like to delete them or unsubscribe. It asks for your email address and password so it can scan for the sites you're signed up to.
Deseat.me is fairly limited at the moment. It requires users to have a Google email address that is used for all of your online accounts. So for those ancient MySpace and Bebo accounts that you signed up for with a Hotmail address you'll need to go to the websites yourself and delete your account.

It also hasn't managed to retrieve account deletion information from every service yet so some appear with a greyed out delete button. And it may never work for smaller sites. That said, it does already work with most major websites that users would be likely to have accounts with, such as Facebook, Twitter and Evernote.
