"Swedish developers Wille Dahlbo and Linus Unnebäck created Deseat.me, which offers a way to wipe your entire existence off the internet in a few clicks.

When logging into the website with a Google account it scans for apps and services you’ve created an account for, and creates a list of them with easy delete links.

Every account it finds gets paired with an easy delete link pointing to the unsubscribe page for that service. Within in a few clicks you’re freed from it, and depending on how long you need to work through the entire list, you can be account-less within the hour."

Very interesting. I went to give it a shot, but it wants access to view/search my emails. The other two permissions allow it to view my identity and email address which is fine, but why does it want to look through my actual emails?

Just tried it myself, I allowed it access, then went to site, it kept sitting there and nothing is happening. Revoked access after 10 minutes.

"it scans for apps and services you’ve created an account for, and creates a list of them with easy delete links".

It could be scanning keywords only, but if you use your Gmail for Financial/Confidential or other Sensitive data, then think twice before Allowing permission.
