Social Media Independence: Clean Up Your Digital Footprint This 4th of July
Take Back Your Freedom Online!
This 4th of July is not just about fireworks and barbecues. It is about freedom. Your personal freedom extends beyond physical borders. It includes your online privacy and the control of your digital footprint.
But in the modern day, your digital privacy and freedom is under threat by more companies and agencies than ever before.
If you are serious about protecting your privacy, this is the perfect time to clean up your online presence – until July 7, 2025, you can get Redact.dev Premium subscriptions for 25% off with code FREEDOM25.
Why Your Digital Footprint Matters
Privacy Is Your Right
Every photo, comment, tweet, and post creates a trail. That trail is not just seen by friends. It is scanned by advertisers, data brokers, hackers, and sometimes even governments;
- Employers check social media before hiring.
- Hackers use old data for scams and identity theft.
- Data brokers sell your information without consent.
- Surveillance tools track your activity.
Your online data tells a story about you – and you should have the freedom to write, edit and delete parts of it as you wish.
How Social Media Makes You a Target
Scammers Love Your Old Posts
If you think old tweets or random Facebook comments are harmless, think again. Scammers and bad actors use public information to build fake profiles, craft convincing phishing attacks, and guess security answers.
A few innocent posts can reveal personal information that could create risk for you, your family, friends or even coworkers.
- Where you live
- Your workplace
- Events you attended
- Your family members
- Hobbies, interests, or pet names (which are common Security Question answers)
The solution to this – carefully audit and manage your digital footprint. Avoid posting any personal information publicly. Even posts that are shared only with your Facebook friends could be weaponized against you in the event of an account breach.

Digital Freedom Is Not Automatic
The Data Economy Never Sleeps
While you are celebrating the 4th of July, data brokers, advertisers, and scraping tools are collecting everything you post. Your likes, shares, and comments are fueling someone else’s profit.
Meanwhile, a group of private companies built to surveil you are consolidating as much data as possible about you, your relationships, your behavior and more; once again fueled by your social media footprint.
Digital independence means cutting off the supply of personal information. You cannot control how others use your old posts – but if you remove them, you can limit the harm they could be used to cause you and people the care for.
