how to completely delete yourself from the internet, or how to "start over"

[Far from massive]

Yeah its really sad that of all the young people I have spoken to including some very high GPA college students, none of them could answer what facebook was. Most said a social networking website. It is a data mining center pure and simple and to think that a data mining center would ever give up their data is like thinking a bank would give out money.

Correct.

Its also only going to get worse with laws such as SOPA and other movements around the world clamping down on online activity. The FBI also wants backdoors in FB/Twitter/MySpace. Apart from Twitter, I don't think that either FB or MS let you know your profle has been subpoenaed.

FB was a genuis's invention, it was also the perfect program for the government (where ever you are) to snoop, profile and date mine.

swifto i apperciate the response but your speaking in a different language for all i know, i have no idea what all those terms mean.. i should have restated my question because i dont really care what my browsing history is on my current laptop because im about to get a new one..

what im worried about most is my myspace account from high school, that still is up on the web and i said some pretty vile and immature things back in the day, i had a facebook but i deleted it, and am about to get a new one.


so what you basically saying in terms of the myspace and facebook data is that im screwed and theres nothing i can do?
