I wish that any account hosting site purges inactive user accounts as a host-initiated action (y)

I wish that any account hosting site has an option to delete user accounts as a user-initiated action (y)

Important, in either case, purging/deletion happens without user data being sold (y)

There are way too many zombie accounts on the net :eek1:

Problem is with 80% - 90% of the sites, used to be 99% a decade ago, has 'improved' but still very bad, if you care about your 'digital footprint'

Deleting an account does not guarantee your digital footprint is erased :eek1:

Not why I deleted it. I found the service pretty much useless anyways and his antics made the decision very easy.

It may be a good idea if people here visit computer security forums and find out what can happen with their digital footprints, regardless of whether the account is active or deleted, or regardless of anything else, for that matter.

For example dbartenstein@twitter.com will live in Google archives even if Twitter itself goes down and everything related will be exposed to anyone wanting to misuse it. Note that everything on the net is an interrelated web

Even the info of dead people is not immune or even preferred by misusers, it's like that in the real world, it's worse in the virtual world, it's worst in the hidden virtual world.

Be careful, folks!
