Web 2.0 Suicide Machine
Web service
The Web 2.0 Suicide Machine is a service that helps users tired of MySpace, LinkedIn and Twitter, to "commit suicide in social networks", by automatically "removing their private content and friend relationships" (but without deleting or deactivating their accounts).[1][2][3][4][5] The service is part of the non-profit foundation WORM, based in Rotterdam, Netherlands.[2]
The "Web 2.0 Suicide Machine" has, as of January 2010, assisted with more than 1,000 virtual deaths, ending more than 80,500 friendships on Facebook and removing 276,000 tweets from Twitter.[4]
