FaceBook Photos Never Really Deleted

Like we were discussing in another thread about deleted items, here's a good explanation of FaceBook's issue:

Over 3 years later, "deleted" Facebook photos are still online - CNN.com

The problem: "deleted" photos never go away

When we first investigated this phenomenon in 2009, we discovered that photos "deleted" from Facebook seemingly never go away if you have a direct link to the image file on Facebook's servers. Users who might have had second thoughts about posting a photo -- whether it was because they didn't want retaliation from an employer, wanted to avoid family drama, or uploaded a photo of a friend without their permission—could certainly remove the image from Facebook's main user interface, but as long as someone had a direct link to the .jpg file in question, the photo would remain accessible for an indefinite amount of time.

Well, no. Every picture, comment, etc., is still/will be there. Not just that one.

Somewhere, somebody, big brother, i-net, has a copy of that discretion.

So be it.

Be assured. It very well can/will come back to haunt us.

Make sure your guns are loaded and drawn when the knock comes.....:buddies:

Interesting. I'll start saving all links or maybe i'll just start saving other people's pictures to my computer in case I am in need of some financial help in the future.
