You can ping JimRob, but why would you ever want to leave? Plus Google will keep your posts cached rather neatly, particularly if you use

ping for later

Bookmarked - thanks for this valuable post. Just the links to get off of social media are huge time-savers.
My FR account is tied to one of my five “bogus” gmail accounts. No need to delete it.
Great info.
I think MyLife gets info from voting rosters b/c it lists people’s political registration. You have to petition to be removed from their db.
Tangentially related, for those using MacOS and who have upgraded to Mojave 10.14.1, you might want to consider killing Apple’s News app. If you use the app, I suspect it tracks what you read as news sources. Even if you don’t use it, that itself is a metric.
However, by default you can’t just right-click delete the app. Apple in its wisdom has made the app nuke-proof even using sudo and terminal. You can, however, still eradicate it by booting into Recovery mode and switching off SIP.
Here is a link to how-to details: https://lifehacker.com/how-to-uninstall-annoying-macos-apps-1824253576
Maybe.
I get “OPT OUT” notices from a variety of businesses, primarily banks, credit card and insurance companies. It always amazes me that you can’t really completely “opt out.” They all have the “f*ck you clause” that says that this stuff and that stuff we have on you we will share with others despite your wishes to the contrary.
To business today, America is just a large group of customers that they seek to control and squeeze money out of. As such, borders are an inconvenience. And sadly, our politicians, who are getting paid by these cretins, are only too happy to write laws that support this ongoing theft of your personal identity.
Zoom info should be on the removal list too.

Step Zero (before others listed):
MAKE A POST OFFICE BOX your MAILING address.
Once your physical address is off the USPS radar it is much less likely that basic searches will identify your residence.
Can be a bit of a hassle with some deliveries but PM me for solutions.

Thanks for the post.
Makes me wonder how practical it would be to create an alternate persona.
I’m in my early 50s, although often get mistaken for being 10 years younger. Like my job, but things often change. I’m wondering how difficult it’s going to be to get another should I choose due to my age.
Certainly wouldn’t put false info on a job application or resume, but if I were to omit aspects of my life and the Internet had information that was not accurate that caused HR to draw a different conclusion...
I’m sure there are other reasons why one would want a presence on the Internet that doesn’t necessarily reflect reality accurately.
There are several ways to get rid of a FR account.
1)Email Jim and ask nicely
2)Hit the abuse button on yourself and ask a Mod nicely
3)Post a grand opus coming out as a member of the Socialist Party, attacking Christians, Jews, apple pie and the American Way.

If you need to disappear, the CIA will take care of that. Or consult with Ken Lay.
