Delete Yourself From Web Services

Delete Yourself From Web Services | Nerdy Needs | Scoop.it

Why can’t you just go to the listed sites on your own and delete yourself that way, you ask? It’s not that easy.

If you've wondered what all the rukus is about, this neatly explains it all.

Don't kid yourself into thinking this won't have gender bias, race bias, etc. -- it will. This is an issue of the  99%.
