I'm planning on deleting the contents of my profiles across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit and Instagram and suspending future posts on August 1st. (I tend to pin things to dates like that.)

The Twitter fiasco has me thinking I should move that date up, honestly. My DMs aren't TMZ fodder but I'd still be embarrassed if they were leaked and ended up on some dark web dump somewhere, and that is now a nonzero possibility.

Staying on social media these days is becoming a liability, even if you lock down your profile completely and stay private. For me, it's no longer worth it.
