## What Jamie wrote

For years I've used [TweetDelete](https://tweetdelete.net), which as you might guess, deletes my tweets on Twitter when my preferred amount of time has passed. This app is the first desktop application I've seen that does similar, and does it for over 40 different services. You login, and using Redact, you can **hide** your content. I take issue with them calling this "Delete your digital footprint". We all need to be reminded all the time that none of these companies actually delete your content, they simply **hide it**. It may still be used for various things, just not displayed on their service. Overall though, I’m glad to see privacy tools being made to help people with constant surveillance.
