Easy way to get Un social networked

It may sound wired, but it looks a good idea which I was looking for for a long time. The most annoying in social networks that it is easy to enter but once you are in, you can not stop it. Today I found this online service that I hope it will do what I could not do by myself.
Social networks are our today’s big mistake of technology. I see internet as a tool to help connecting the world but when it comes to social networking it go beyond the limit of privacy and common sense. I don’t say it is a mistake of Internet, It is a mistake of human who use it for one purpose to cash in on naivety of people and serve them targeted advertisement and break their natural defenses of strangers fear.
Using this tool, it will delete all you information and change your account so it becomes un-useful.
