Did you know? Facebook stores what you write into the text box even if you don't send it.

- hammock 9y agoHe's getting downvoted but this is (was?) actually true, there was a study about it.

- betenoire 9y agoS/He's getting down voted because (I assume, it wasn't me) he changed the topic/point of the conversation, not because what he wrote wasn't true. Often a comment on something social/subjective/squishy devolves into a objective discussion about the irrelevant details..... like this comment does.
- sumedh 9y agoHis/her comment is totally relevant, I didnt know facebook was that sneaky to actually save that.
- imron 9y agoThat probably doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the sneakiness that goes on.
- Kenji 9y agoIt's highly relevant. Facebook now knows he wrote "MY LIFE IS BETTER THAN YOURS" and deleted it. Tells a lot about a person, doesn't it? What if someone wrote something else and then deleted it and somehow that caused trouble because facebook saved it? Just food for thought.

- rosser 9y ago> In their article, Das and Kramer claim to only send back information to Facebook that indicates whether you self-censored, not what you typed. The Facebook rep I spoke with agreed that the company isn’t collecting the text of self-censored posts. The study and an FB representative both refute that the content of "self-censored" posts is collected.
