Twitter and all of the other sites you left still have your data. It's just not public. The internet is forever unless the company literally nosedives and all of their servers are wiped. And even then, there might be some backup on someone else's servers.

Well, yes, of course. Are you suggesting people stay on twitter because it's too late?

I'm saying it's too late to erase yourself from the internet. The best you could do is not make it worse for yourself, which would involve quitting Twitter.

But if there was any indication on any social media site that you're queer, even if you think the data has been erased, you could be in big trouble soon.

Well I never really used Twitter much and stopped years ago. And I realize I cannot totally erase myself but I did a pretty exhaustive job a few years ago. Trying to maintain as much privacy as I can. I can't erase the past but I can abate my concerns moving forward
