I wish that any account hosting site purges inactive user accounts as a host-initiated action 
I wish that any account hosting site has an option to delete user accounts as a user-initiated action
Important, in either case, purging/deletion happens without user data being sold
There are way too many zombie accounts on the net

Not why I deleted it. I found the service pretty much useless anyways and his antics made the decision very easy.Deleting an account does not guarantee your digital footprint is erased

It may be a good idea if people here visit computer security forums and find out what can happen with their digital footprints, regardless of whether the account is active or deleted, or regardless of anything else, for that matter.
For example [email protected] will live in Google archives even if Twitter itself goes down and everything related will be exposed to anyone wanting to misuse it. Note that everything on the net is an interrelated web
Even the info of dead people is not immune or even preferred by misusers, it's like that in the real world, it's worse in the virtual world, it's worst in the hidden virtual world.
Be careful, folks!
