Social media has

[picklemick]

So what do you do with social media and your phone and computer and shit before you go? Like can family get access to that shit after you ctb. Or law enforcement? I don't need anyone up in that. What about iCloud. Fucking nightmare in there

Yeah, tbh it's something that is much better avoided preemptively. Once you're using that stuff there's not really any deleting it. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. What you can do it contact the companies and tell them you want to wipe your accounts. They will oblige but not particularly helpfully. They're all geared towards keeping you using their services and using your data to their ends so customer service on this front is quite lacking.

There's some things you can do. I touched on closing yoyr accounts. You can also leave a descriptive note which will anser any questions LE may want to ask. Basically make it easy for them to wrap things up with as little effort as possible. They'll take that. If you have people you're leaving bwhind you can write separate notes if you prefer to separate certain things. Kind of obvious but mentioning it while we're on the topic.

LE can request you google file which will include search history, media posts, location history, how many pubic hairs you swallowed in your life time and of course your contacts and call history.

Similar situation with facebook, twitter, instagram, tiktok and all the others really. It takes them a period of time to delete yoyr shit even after sending an official request so it's something you will want to do a good bit of time before ctb.

I think with icloud you can clear it out and give it some time so that it's wiped from any servers they have. Not sure how long thst takes.

Like I say, if you make it easy to wrap up they may never bother accessing your phone/devices or online accounts. They will take thst stuff just in case there's an investigation but will return it untouched if they can wrap things up without doing so. They have limited resources so won't go to those lengths if they don't need to. Usually returning your stuff to your family once case is closed. If youf family/loved ones will be likely to put high expectations on LE then you may want to go ham on clearing out beforehand.

It's a good point but I don't think I'll do anything special with it, just maybe throw the phone away.

Ugh. That sucks

Yeah, like I said, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Leave a decent note for LE and you should be okay. Its unlikely they'll share anything embarrassing with your family. Assuming you don't have any terrible content or incriminating stuff that's unrelated to ctb.

 

[picklemick]

i don't care about le. But like my family can't ask for access to my accounts or anything can they?

Urm, it depends. Its unlikely a company will hand over passwords to anyone other than LE. But there could be circumstances where they might consider it on a judgement call. It's not like anyone can press charges for doing so if they're no longer around. It's probably something you should do a little research on if you're worried about specific people doing/attempting to do that.

If your family press the Police/investigators they will quite possibly assist them in aquiring it I'm afraid.

I don't see many reasons the police would bother digging up your entire datafiles in a ctb investigation. They would usually only do that in more suspicious or high profile cases. The most they would do is check your phone and computer activity following up the ctb.

Going any further than that takes contacting companies and getting warrants which costs time. Clear cut ctbs don't need much resource and time investment otherwise it would distract from actual murders and crimes. The families can press for answers, but they are more likely to recieve, ''they looked up how to ctb with...'' over ''here's the weird s**t they were looking up at 5 in the morning.''

And the police are known to do the bare minimum in many past cases. Still sucks that info is hard to delete. They best you can do is make the ctb as obvious as possible.

Chances are they won't bother but you can always reset your phone and delete social media accounts
