Are you doing analysis of the body of the posts, where they were posted, who or what they are replying to, etc?  I imagine this is more difficult on some social media sites.  Twitter for example is highly time sensitive.  A tweet in reaction to some political news event might not have any political language in it and only reveals itself to be political when viewed in the proper context.</text><parent_chain><item><author>ds</author><text>Hey HN- Im one of the team members at redact. Redact is a cross platform electron app which allows you to delete content programmatically from most of the big sites out there (we are adding more every day). Meaning, you could say something like &amp;quot;Delete all posts I made on instagram with less than 15 likes in 2019&amp;quot; or (very soon) &amp;quot;Delete all my tweets that are political&amp;quot;
We have been working on this for a little over a year. As you can imagine, working with some of these legacy services is less than ideal. (looking at you skype)&lt;p&gt;When we launched, we were aware of tons of other free services that let you delete content, but we found that most of them were either unmaintained and broken, not feature rich enough or complicated for grandmas to install. &amp;quot;Ok, so first- download Kali linux to a thumb drive. Then reboot into it and install python and clone this repo....&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Our goal with redact is to make privacy as accessible to the general public as possible. There are tons of services that let you delete &amp;#x27;public&amp;#x27; data about you (for instance, deleting your whitepages.com page) but we found very few which took care of content YOU created across more than 1 service.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Show HN: Redact – Automated deletion for your content on social networks</title><url>https://redact.dev/?hn</url></story>
