A script that deletes all of your online information.

Would you even care if you’re dead anyway? Maybe some far descendant can stumble across my posts and put them in his family history folder.

I don’t like the idea of all my conversations online being right there word for word for my family to see without my ability to give any context .

Theoretically though, if youre already dead, would it even matter? To me, what youre describing would be the same as if, say, your grandkids or whatever descendants ended up finding a photoalbum filled with pics of you and letters you wrote to friends and family and such. There would be no outside context from you but it could still be a nice heirloom for your grandkids/great grandkids to remember you by and learn a bit about what type of person you were.

Meh, I’d be more likely to make a script to upload all my remaining information. Not like I got any accounts anyone could use for any personal gain, I’m more of an internet historian archiving old software and stuff.

If it was never intended to be public, you might screw other living people over in the process. Think: revenge porn.

Yeah, but I just said, I archive software and stuff.

My pecker is too tiny for a bit of data. Or is it?.. 🤔

Are they doing that with everyone removing their content lately? So much for having control of your user account and persona.
