When it comes to deleting data waste, “In my opinion, social media is the worst, really,” said Virginie Guerin, co-founder of the French Digital Cleanup Day team. “It’s very hard to do. We created lots of small how-tos. For example, how to delete your photographs from Facebook. How to go into your social network and find the feature that stops the video launching automatically.
“What I would like is just to be able to delete all the things I did in the past 10 years. I don’t need to have all these things staying on the platform. The way you can find out how to delete what and where, it’s very, very hard and it’s becoming harder.
