I used a Twitter extension to comb through some of my old Twitter activity from when I was 13, and it felt magical. It manually went through and deleted every like, comment, Tweet, and retweet. It did it in such a way that it emulated a person doing it, making it faster to remove that data from the network than a deletion request.

[@locxle]

Watching this at 3am and thinking when I'll need to do this

[@boilerhousegarage]

Unless you're "most wanted" and involved in something serious, then it is still worth deleting all your social media accounts. It's time consuming and expensive for law enforcement to do deep online searches for people and in many cases I've seen police just search for someone as any of us would. If you're not that big of a criminal or simply want to disappear, then remember how many millions of others will have the attention of authoritarians-you'll soon be forgotten.

For me privacy and confidentaility are more important than free speech unless the information being shared is important for the general public or related to a crime. In those cases publishing factual information would supercede privacy. But the fact that people can just buy your information without your knowledge or consent is super disturbing. There needs to be way more transparency and regulation around collecting and monetizing people's data

[@earthmother4397]

Not all crimes need to be broadcast on the internet especially if it happened a long time ago and is not relevant and especially if the case was dismissed and the criminal record expunged. The media should not have power to overrule judges and cancel people to start a slander campaign against them. People make mistakes and we need to forgive and allow growth.
