1. A method of one or more of (a) selectively reducing data available to, or processed by one or more computers communicatively connected to, a digitally stored and operated social network site, (b) improving data security and (c) increasing operational efficiency of the one or more computers communicatively connected to the digitally stored and operated social network site, at a terminal in a digital communications network, comprising:
displaying indicia, broadcasting data, or transmitting instructions, to solicit collection of or to access data uniquely representative of, or uniquely indicating, one or more digitally stored and operated social network site personality account(s);
collecting or accessing data uniquely representative of, or uniquely indicating, the one or more social network site personality account(s) and transmitting data necessary to access and control the one or more digitally stored and operated social network site personality account(s) to at least one remote computer(s);
establishing direct or indirect communication access and linkage between the personality-operated personal terminal and the at least one remote computer(s) on which are stored, or by which access is available to control stored personality account object data that were input or modified during prior access to and control over:
the one or more social network site personality account(s) or
associated social network site personality account(s) that at some prior time had permission to edit data in, or append data to, the stored personality account object data of the one or more social network site personality account(s),
the stored personality account data of the one or more personality account(s) uniquely accessible based on access data digitally pre-assigned only to the one or more social network site personality account(s);
displaying indicia, or broadcasting data, representative of or indicating one or more predetermined criteria for selecting a subset of the stored personality account object data;
collecting data representative of, or indicating, the subset of the stored personality account object data based on the one or more predetermined criteria for selecting the subset of the stored personality account object data that were input or modified during prior access to and control over the one or more personality account(s) or associated social network site personality account(s) that at some prior time had permission to edit data in, or append data to, the personality account object data of the one or more personality account(s); and
transmitting instructions to prevent legible display of only the subset of the stored personality account object data, according to the collected data representative of, or indicating, the one or more predetermined criteria for selecting the subset of the stored personality account object data, from the terminal to the at least one remote computer(s);
wherein the instructions are calculated to cause the at least one remote computer(s) on which are stored, or by which access is available to control, the stored personality account object data, to, in whole or in part, prevent legible display of the selected subset of the stored personality account object data from at least one database on which are stored the subset of the stored personality account object data, based on the one or more predetermined criteria, the instructions including selection and legible display prevention of at least one copy of all stored personality account object data in the subset of the personality account object data.
