Is it really possible to disappear from the internet?

About this episode

The internet knows everything about us. Even when we think we’re discreet, traces remain, bank accounts, emails, administrative forms, social media profiles. To vanish completely, you’d have to delete every account and disconnect entirely. It may sound extreme but for those facing harassment, identity theft, or stalking, it can feel necessary. So, where do you even start?

 Are websites actually obliged to erase my information?
And what if embarrassing content resurfaces years later?
So, can I really disappear without cutting ties to the digital world?
