I used it to remove old tweets, but nothing else. The presets aren't very flexible. The oldest tweets I could delete was anything more than 3 months old. I would have preferred a longer timeframe like older than 2 or 5 years.

I didn't try it for Facebook. It has three general settings (public, friends, and just me). I've already tuned Facebook as best as I want. It wasn't clear what FB would overshare or under-share with Jumbo's settings.



I also dislike how they’ve conformed to Facebooks notion of privacy (it’s private if only Facebook can see and use it, not others), as opposed to the traditional definition of retaining individual decision-rights over disclosure.


Agreed, but it's still better for most people than having things shared with everyone.

This seems like the sort of app one might use to prevent James Gunn style problems from old content.


Yes, I agree we need to add more options for Twitter. These will come in a future update, in May/June. Thanks for the feedback.

For Facebook, the full list of Settings we support is here: https://blog.jumboprivacy.com/smart-privacy-for-facebook.htm...

Jumbo disables ads personalization, face recogonization, and soon location data storage.

Feel free to ask me more questions.
