Developers in Sweden have created a website that can help you delete your online presence with just a few clicks. Swedish developers Wille Dahlbo and Linus Unnebäck created Deseat.me that uses Google’s security protocol to remove your entire web presence clean. The program runs on your computer, and not on the website’s servers to maximise privacy at all times. “Privacy and data security is something we regard as extremely important,” explain the team behind the site. “In fact, it’s our number one focus from beginning to end. That’s why we built it to run on your computer. So basically the only thing you’re telling us is what accounts you want to delete. Thats it, and since we use Google’s OAuth protocol we don’t have access to any of your login information.” So, how does it works? All you have to do is log in with a Google account, and the programme scans for any apps or services that you have created accounts for, and creates a list of them with easy delete links. For every account, it finds the programme gives you a ‘delete’ link, which takes you to that service’s unsubscribe page. It probably takes a few clicks per account to delete, and depending on how long you need to work through the entire list, you can be account-less within the hour. Source: Deseat.me
