Is there a company out there that specializes in the deletion of social accounts and your overall on line foot print? I think it would be a good idea. As the masses start to realize that they have supplied the powers that be with a tremendous amount of information, they are going to want that information removed but may be too stupid or lazy to know how. I bet someone would pay $20 for a service to erase all their accounts etc. Food for thought as far as a start-up goes. Anyone in?

Reputation.com is always advertising on NPR. Don't know anything about them, but they advertise their selves as "protecting your online reputation".

I don't know of a company that does that. However, if you have a Facebook account, Facebook Disconnect is worth considering: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ejpepffjfmamnambag...

Do you think there is or ever would be a need for a service like that? Thanks for the link.

Yeah, there are people who'll wipe all traces of you and relocate you in real life, it will come for internet too.

I've seen ads for online reputation management, but no idea how thorough it is.
