I'm so glad I am not on Facebook. Articles like these make me grin.

Well, this should deter people from mindlessly posting anything which may at some time become embarrassing for them.

I can imagine that all our old email and searches that we thought that were long gone are sitting some ware even after more than a decade has since passed.

think of the profits in blackmail facebook could make
they could fend off lawyers for years, big pay raises, get new servers to store even more potential blackmail for future profits. This exploiting dumb people on the internet really just fuels itself.

You don't have to be on Facebook to have photo's of you posted on the site. It's a catch-22 really.

Facebook is poorly coded...it's actual technical joke.

If it is such a joke hack it and prove it.....

Shocker, but the guy that wrote it is actually an extremely competent coder...

"For all practical purposes, the photo no longer exists, and we wouldn’t be able find it if we were asked or even compelled to do so". Then, "As soon as the Ars Technica story started to gather traction on the internet, the company deleted the photo Jacqui requested be deleted 16 months ago from its server." So they were able to find it somehow. And from its server or CDN cache?

Can't they just put in a script to rename files when they're 'deleted'?

 

[eddieroolz]

Somewhat worried about my 3 years worth of photos that I left there. I'm sure its still on their servers, even though my account is deleted.
