If you have social media pages, think about all of the information you share. Your birthday, your hometown, where you went to school, where you work. You probably share photos of where you're at and who you're with. And there's bound to be a few embarrassing photos of you floating around that someone else was kind enough to tag you in. If you think about it, even someone you've never met could learn pretty much everything about you through your social media pages.
If you feel like you might be sharing too much or opening yourself up to a scam, a break-in or anything else that could put you in danger, you might want to consider removing yourself from the internet.
Here's how to completely erase yourself from the internet:
1. Delete Your Accounts
Most social media platforms out there allow you to delete your account. The best way to remove all of your personal information from the internet is to delete your social network accounts. After you deactivate your accounts, your name, photos and other information that you shared will be erased. Most social networks also give you a chance to restore your account within in a certain period of time, just in case you change your mind.2. If You Can't Delete Your Account...
If you come across a social media network that won't allow you to delete your account, get creative instead. Delete your photos, change your name and all of your other personal information to something made up. If you account has to stay activated, make sure it doesn't have any connection to you!3.
