Delete yourself from the internet by pressing this button
by Juan Buis
The internet can be a beautiful and horrible place at the same time, and it isn’t weird to sometimes feel like you want to leave — there’s wasn’t an easy way out, until now.
Swedish developers Wille Dahlbo and Linus Unnebäck created Deseat.me, which offers a way to wipe your entire existence off the internet in a few clicks.
When logging into the website with a Google account it scans for apps and services you’ve created an account for, and creates a list of them with easy delete links.
Every account it finds gets paired with an easy delete link pointing to the unsubscribe page for that service. Within in a few clicks you’re freed from it, and depending on how long you need to work through the entire list, you can be account-less within the hour.
If you’re getting tired of social media and internet-induced stress in general, it’s the quickest way to get back to a state of tranquility — and to be honest, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea.

I guess they couldn't wait until April Fools Day to post this. As if Google will assist you in deleting yourself from the internet.
Best comment on this charade goes to Ayesha Ambreen, who posted the following:
"I doubt it is that simple. Internet is the death of forgetting. You can't hide or disappear like that."
