Web 2.0 Suicide Machine

The Web 2.0 Suicide Machine is a service that automatically removes private content and friends on social media platforms MySpace, LinkedIn and Twitter, to "commit suicide in social networks", without deleting or deactivating their accounts. The service is part of the non-profit foundation WORM, based in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

The "Web 2.0 Suicide Machine" has, as of January 2010, assisted with more than 1,000 'virtual deaths', ending more than 80,500 friendships on Facebook and removing 276,000 tweets from Twitter.
