Earlier this year, the US State Department announced it would delete every post on its official X accounts made before Trump returned to office in 2025.

Deleting years of previous government posts that should be easily accessible to the public is dangerous and antidemocratic, to say the least.

At Lockdown Systems, we thought this information should remain accessible to the public. So we backed them up.

OnionShare is a free open-source tool built to help journalists, activists, and anyone who needs more privacy online to securely share files, host websites, and communicate using the Tor network.

We're currently part of the cryptocurrency crowdfunding campaign Fund Internet Freedom, led by the Tor Project and Funding the Commons. You can support OnionShare by donating here: https://internetfreedom.torproject.org/projects/onionshare/

Donations through this campaign will be matched by sponsors, and will help us to develop and maintain the project.

We're happy to announce today the release of Cyd for Mobile! 📲🐦️

If you have an account on Bluesky, you can use Cyd's new mobile app to easily and automatically clean up your data.

The app backs up and deletes your old posts, likes, and other data, while leaving what you actually want people to see when they look up your account.

Why should everything you post on social media stay online forever? It's your data, it should be your choice!

More on Cyd for Mobile here: https://lockdown.systems/cyd-for-mobile-delete-your-old-bluesky-posts-except-for-what-you-want-to-keep/

Mastodon users may not need this, but Bluesky users do! 🦋

If you or someone you know also have a Bluesky account, you might want to look at @cyd to facilitate post deletion and good data minimization practices.

We're happy to announce today a new way to do this easily: Cyd for Mobile! 🐦️✨

https://lockdown.systems/cyd-for-mobile-delete-your-old-bluesky-posts-except-for-what-you-want-to-keep/

Why should everything you post on social media stay online, and public, forever?

It's *your* data! You should have the power to keep it, move it, and delete it as you please.
