Awesome idea. Really cool. I wrote a Python script to click delete on some old Google plus publications (more than 100), see if your script works there.

Great idea, but the main CTA is hidden on mobile! Had to switch to desktop mode to see the main button.

Is the site down? I'm getting a connection timed out error.

$2.99 for a wget & grep invocation.

And yes yes i know rsync vs. Dropbox and all that.

to be fair its more than a wget, the api has serious limitations for getting pages of tweets, but it does seem expensive

The issue is: $2.99 and your problem isn't really solved.

It would be worth $99 if it was a comprehensive sweep of all major social networks and search engines, with some AI to look at not just obvious F words, but also something that might be bad in context. And also embarrassing pictures etc.

Something like an 'anti virus' or 'spam filter' for your online profile. It isn't perfect but you feel a lot more secure with one installed.
