People say the internet is forever, but that is a lie. If someone wants to nuke their digital footprint, it is easier than ever right now.
Are you referring to something? Could you explain a little?
Nothing in particular. I was looking up some lady and I quickly discovered that she hasn’t existed since like 2022, nuked all her socials and fell off the grid overnight. Then I started thinking about myself and how easy it would be to go ghost if i stopped being online for like a week.
I would say it mostly only applies to famous people and events that lots of people can keep going like whack-a-mole if one source is nuked, or that they can maintain easily as a small part of a large information database (like wikipedia). If you’re a virtual no-name, nobody as random individuals are going to be paying attention to maintain your footprint and, well… in the capitalist context, companies are not going to want to foot the bill to maintain it.
