As a user I should be able to tell a website that I want it to forget something I'm putting on it after a while. Nothing complicated, say a default setting of one year. Not on sites like Posterous or Flickr, but on sites like Facebook, Twitter, even HN.
This isn't likely to happen though without legislation, which is a shame.
