    https://lemmy.world/post/18093745 “How to remove myself from the Internet”

    Makes it seem like you’re trying to purge information about yourself from Wikipedia.

      My younger and dumber self her I used my real name and posted photos. I would like to get them all disappeared. I am thinking about retiring at 45 and want to live like a hermit.

        What websites did you post the photos on? If they’re popular pictures you might be out of luck. If you just want to delete your Facebook or Instagram, just do that. It wildly depends on what kind of images they are, where they were posted, and how well-known you already are.

        The good news is the internet has a vanishingly short attention span, at least.

          mainly facebook which I tried to delete but it just says account on hold. And anyone can still access it. Never used Insta its I was in jail once and it is one google when I search my last name. Would like to get rid of that and have kept emailing/posting to get it removed but apparently I am just fucked.
