My idea was to just have a service that ties to a web page where you can choose the media and give a TTL based on content. Then just have the service run every N time or be reactive depending on how you architect it but the general idea is:

tweet: delete every 7 days
DMS: keep?
FB photo: no TTL, or maybe 1 year.

Of course you can do this on a per message as well when you send it, but the more social services you add and supported content type the more complex it gets. Though if anyone wrote something like this, I would love to use it.

This needs a lot of love, but if anyone finds value in it, there's the code: github.com/SocialOxpecker/SocialOx...
