Abstract: A computer that selectively removes online content associated with an individual is described. During operation, the computer may perform an enrollment process associated with the individual, where the enrollment process involves receiving credentials for one or more accounts associated with the individual. Then, based at least in part on the credentials, the computer may monitor a subsequent activity history associated with the individual, where the activity history includes online transactions associated with the individual, and where the online transactions are associated with multiple locations and the one or more accounts. When the computer receives information specifying an occurrence of an event (such as death or illness of the individual), the computer may, based at least in part on the monitored activity history, selectively remove the online content associated with the individual and at least some of the locations.
