Some of us may spend a lot of time on various websites, posting text and images.
That can all be erased if someone in a high position doesn't like you or what you have to say. If they want, they can block and erase you from their server, causing all your hard work to vanish into thin air (or never see the light of day again).

One addendum I'd like to add is that if you pretend you are from EU, you can claim your data, you don't have to be in EU, but you can play it like you are in EU and plan to talk to the authorities if a site doesn't give you your data.
If any of you respond with some other social media sites and how to get your data, I'll add them in.
It's worth getting an external hard drive and encrypt it.
I use https://veracrypt.fr instead. It's a program that lets you encrypt files, and also allows you to have hidden partitions.
eg:
use veracrypt with password1 to open
MyHoliday.jpg
, and it mounts as a drive with:or you can use veracrypt with password2 to open
MyHoliday.jpg
, and it mounts as a drive with:This way if the police are like "we think this is an encrypted folder" and you're forced to give out a password, you give out password1 and no one can see the files in the hidden partition. They can overwrite it though.. so make sure your secret stuff is backed up in another place too.
This is golden advice. Thanks.
