Sure, but speaking as someone with a lot of knowledge of IT systems, RPO, RTO, etc., I can say that the RPO of deleting your accounts gets worse and worse for the NSA or whoever to keep track of as time goes on.
They’re not the internet archive where they’ve got snapshots of all text ever said on the web. They’ve got crawlers and systems and storage tiers same as anyone else. They have to cycle those backups of their snapshots at some point, and that’s when you can eventually slide your way out of their window as long as the things you’ve said or done are no longer on the internet anywhere. They will eventually disappear from databases and systems like PRISM.
