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).

If any of you respond with some other social media sites and how to get your data, I'll add them in.
Fantastic post and good reminder for myself lol. Also, back up your storage on your devices. There are apps and programs where you can set timed backups of your data.
