Those who often spend time on the Internet will probably want to disappear for a while, delete their accounts, every search history . as if they never knew what the Internet was. The 'digital identity' of each person online can be the gateway to many complicated things like harassing personal life .
Try disappearing online to see if it is possible?
But what does 'disappearing' really mean? Did deleting all social network accounts help you disappear?
Bradley Shear, a lawyer specializing in social networking and privacy also points out some ways to help you stay away from the Internet, but there's a warning that you'll have to change many things in your lifestyle. The ways she suggested include:
- Delete your Facebook account and other social networks (Facebook knows a lot about you and many other things you do online). If not, at least delete the usage data. Twitter and Facebook both store data and allow downloading so you can go to Settings and find a place to delete.
- More difficult is deleting Gmail. 'Every time you visit, they get your IP,' Shear said. Those who use encrypted mail services like ProtonMail must accept that it is impossible to send messages to Gmail or Yahoo users.
- Use VPN virtual private network services .
- Create 'fake facts': fake birthdays, fake emails .
- Search with DuckDuckGo instead of Google or Yahoo or other tracked search engines.
