I remember years ago someone in my class decided to make Russian look alike pictures of everyone in the class and post them as a gag on the doors. I forget what it was called, but several of my classmates were angry that the person had taken their pictures without consent and given them to some weird Russian picture algorithm.
At this point in time, I have no doubt that all kinds of pictures and information regarding me is in the hands of people and companies I don't care for. A lot of it is my own doing and some is out of my hands.
It is hard to avoid when you don't have any control over your own information because people share your pictures and your info without consulting you. All the time and without malice. It is what it is.
Pff it's easy
Cut contact with all friends and family, get plastic surgery, live as a hermit in the mountains
My dream. Get a death certificate and become invisible. Live in mountains. Raise chicken. And live a peaceful life
Aka living the dream
There's stuff I could do, like remove tags from myself on fb (is that possible?) or delete my account, but it's enough work and enough of a loss (what if I need to find an old contact) that I just ignore the problem.
It sure is possible, because I untagged myself from all pictures people had tagged me on before deleting all comments I ever wrote, all pictures I ever posted myself and then deleted my Facebook after that.
For years, the only thing that kept me on Facebook was that I had a few people I only had contact with through messenger due to us being from differnet countries.
When I learned about Signal, I immediately got those people onto that app so we could stay in contact and then I went on a mass destruction rampage of my profile. Literally went from "but I have to keep it because of my connections" to "let me simulate digital dementia, bitch".
I understand that most people can't do what I did. For me it was several years of gradual detachment from the platform that made it super easy to pull the plug in the end. It's a bit harder for those who actively use fb every day for social connections and jobs and so on. So I get it.
But yeah, you can't really control whether or not people keep posting about you after you leave. I have already had that happen after visiting an old friend and honestly, I cannot bring myself to care about it.
