A scene from the movie Anon, where a law enforcement official is browsing through the global hive mind.
This idea was spawned from the movie "[Anon](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5397194/plotsummary/#synopsis)", which is based around a futuristic "utopia" (dystopia) where every waking moment is recorded and uploaded to the internet. Law enforcement officials are able to access this footage, but so are talented hackers, who use it for their own personal gain.
The protagonist, a girl known only as *Anon*, uses her technical prowess to hide her identity and make herself invisible to the system. Her mantra, the name of our organization, is "Delete fucking everything." At the end of the film, trying to understand her motivations, another character asked what she had to hide. Her answer was resoundingly impactful:
> It's not that I have something to hide. I have nothing I want you to see.
In the United States, an individual's right to privacy is extrapolated from the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals in their persons, homes, papers, and effects from "unreasonable searches and seizures" by the government.[¹](#references) While the exact language is not universal, over 150 national constitutions mention the right to privacy.[²](#references) In the *Universal Declaration of Human Rights*, the United Nations specifically mentions privacy as one of the inalienable rights all human beings are entitled to.[³](#references)
That is the purpose of this project. The modern internet is a machine designed to collect, correlate, and retain every possible piece of information about you for as long as possible. Companies do it for money, governments do it for power, and random shit-ass data broker sites do it because there is an entire industry built around turning your life into a public lookup table.
Delete Fucking Everything is a practical guide to fighting back. The objective is not to become a schizophrenic hermit hiding in the woods, but to make yourself far more difficult to profile, track, categorize, and locate. Every stale account deleted, every broker listing suppressed, every unnecessary service deprived of your real information is one less piece of you floating around for someone else to exploit.
