After my death will the police/media/family find out about my SS profile?

[Promortalist_]

I have opened up about some personal problems here that I never shared with anyone. I don't want my family/friends reading the things I posted on here. I don't want the cops/media finding out either since I fear that they might parade my posts with my id and stuff on the news. I want to remain anonymous.

Will they find out?

Just erase your browser history. I do this everytime I use laptop so fucker I live with can't ever look. If you use your phone I guess you could just deactivate before you do it. Or break your phone etc etc.

I relate to your worries. If you have a phone that is password protected I don't see how they could investigate.

I have been doing the usual stuff as well like deleting history, doing a factory reset and encrypting files. Unfortunately, they have ways to recover all the data even after deleting or resetting your device.

A possible solution would be destroying the device but I don't want to do that.

I don't think whatever you have said here will get back to your friends etc. In a way perhaps it's nice you have people who would give a shit to look. I don't have that, though I do understand the worry.

Family friends probably would look at my profile if it was paraded on the news since they are very nosy people. I don't want to give them the opportunity to gossip or bad mouth about me or my family. I don't want to cause anymore pain to my family :(

I am so sorry. If I knew you, I would care enough to look <3 Giving you a virtual hug

If disposing of the device isn't going to be a possibility as mentioned above maybe a suicide note if you are comfortable writing one. Try to make your issues clear as possible and otherwise, of course if they want to engage irrationally that may not work but surely better than nothing. The news isn't really going to happen most likely, they only post about suicide when it can lead to outrage or novelty (example: 11 year old kills him/herself over ipad, the game of cutting your wrist to be in the look of a whale.) They aren't going to broadcast largely what you posted about, your personal reasons for leaving, and just general opinions because you died of suicide. Many members here have had goodbye threads, and nothing really came of it. The cases where it did are ones where the browser was left open, and the family took it upon themselves to try legal avenues. A VPN and possibly using a more private and encrypted browser could possibly help, but I imagine if they have access to a computer they can find what they wish.

For reference when it comes to your issues you don't want family to know about, you obviously don't have to directly tell them in a note. Very rarely I imagine are notes incredibly specific. It would also help with the aspect of not causing more pain to family which you expressed interest in.

Asking a mod to delete those message maybe helps? I don't know how further they'll go. I don't think that much.

If you have an Android phone, do a factory reset, then download a bunch of garbage stuff. You can get large files from Linux distributors for free. Once your storage is full, factory reset again. You can even go a step further and reflash the firmware after reset. The memory getting overwritten that many times will be unrecoverable. Phones use flash memory, unlike mechanical hard drives, and don't retain deleted data as well. Stop using Chrome or Safari. I know that with Chrome, your web history is also stored in your account. You can clear it, and turn off saving it or even have it auto delete. I can't stand Apple, so I can't give you any advice there.
