Have you ever thought that Google might search for you personally? Even if you are not a well-known media personality, there are many people in the world who would like to know more about you. Well, let's say an HR specialist from the company of your dreams, who is just now considering your resume for an open position. I wonder what results it will get if it enters your name in the search bar?
You can be sure that the inexhaustible illusion of anonymity on the Internet has ruined the lives of many, many people. Today, most of us already understand that online reputation is inseparable from real life, and everything that appeared on the Internet remains on the Internet. But what if this realization came too late? How to make the Internet forget your "mistakes of youth" once and for all?
"Is it possible to erase yourself from the Internet, destroying all traces of your stay in the global Network?", - such an interesting question was asked by PC Pro experts. Not that the author of the article, Joe Martin, is calling on everyone to commit virtual suicide. But situations where you want to start your virtual life with a clean slate are not as rare as it may seem. What if your personal correspondence or explicit photos were leaked to the Internet?
As Joey Martin found out, most social networks and other popular web services will do their best to prevent you from deleting all your personal information. For example, a link to delete a Facebook profile is almost impossible to find, and even if you figure out the difference between deactivating and deleting it, some of your personal data will still be stored on the social network. And after deleting your Google account, the groups you were a member of will still be able to send emails to your other email address, according to PC Pro.
Fortunately, there are specialized services that can make your life much easier by making the Internet "forget" about some unpleasant moments of your past or completely "erase" you from the Network.
