There's a psychological difference between knowing it in the abstract and actually being confronted with and able to play back that history.
And least for this, there's a way to delete it.
- nutanc 11y agoHow do we know for "sure" that it is deleted?
- Merovius 11y agoThere are laws against retaining user-data that the user has explicitly requested to be deleted and Google spends a lot of engineering time making sure, that is really the case (which is non-trivial e.g. with failing drives that you can't access anymore. You still have to delete the data from them, meaning you must know, at every point in time, the physical drive that a users data is saved on). I think 30 days is the guarantee they make.
- redml 11y agoas per my previous examples, with the ashley maddison website users would pay to get their information "deleted" and it ended up not being deleted at all, just hidden.
