Exactly.

BUT, this may bring awareness to regular folks. You can also use it to remove your own stuff from said networks because people do not catalogue their online activity and it can be hard to remove your digital footprint.




I'd pay for a service that would do this,

1. Find my digital footprints on social media

2. Compare that to my desired level of public activity, e.g., do not share photos of me

3. Provide tools to delete, scrub, send takedowns, etc.


4. template an online persona, and cede it across the web, create footprints use SEO type methods to promote a desired public image.


4. Hope they don't keep their own backup copies for later use :-P


There’s privacy duck and delete me, but they’re mostly focused on the scammier public data collection sites where it’s harder to remove your information.


Yup, I'm more curious to find out what I can find out about myself more than anything else.
