Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Basic Information
Name: Redact
Category: Software
URL: redact.dev
Description
Redact allows you to mass delete content (posts, likes, messages, comments, etc.) from tons of services, like discord, reddit, twitter, facebook, and others.
Why I am making the suggestion
The service helps to completely wipe a large digital footprint from many companies that are notoriously data hungry, especially when they make it particularly difficult to manage your own content en masse. I think this falls right in line with the goal of privacytools.
My connection with the software
I'm one of the team members writing the software.
Is this program Free Software?
Doesn't seem so unfortunately.
@privacytools/editorial I don't think we need to add this if it is not open source...
To clarify- The software is Free as in beer, but it is not open source.
However, it is the only option available for many of the services we support to delete your message history. For instance, this is the only way, open source or not, to mass delete your skype messages. There is no other option. And thats the case for many of the services we have added support for. The intention in the future is to create future privacy-related add ons we might charge for, but this entire line is completely free and without limitation.
I understand the resistance to anything not open-source, but I do believe our product is in the spirit of privacy and helping users. In addition, the guidelines for submission here did say that open source software was preferred, but not required.
