justdelete.me Interesting Read

[Suzabro]

I came across this interesting read and thought I'd share http://www.theage.com.au/digital-life/consumer-security/how-robb-lewis-is-helping-web-users-erase-their-digital-footprint-with-justdeleteme-website-20140308-34e1v.html

On justdelete.me, one by one, major sites on the internet are rated in terms of how easy it is to erase your profile - to remove yourself from their databases. All the big names (and a lot of the lesser ones) are judged, and many of them are found wanting. Amazon: Hard. Call of Duty: Impossible. Craigslist: Hard. Groupon: Hard. iTunes: Hard. New York Times: Hard. Pinterest: Impossible. Playstation network: Impossible. Skype: Hard. Wikipedia: Impossible. Click on the name, and you get a brief explanation on how to go about erasing your personal information from that site's records. Unless, of course, you can't.
