No it isn't. This is what got Facebook in hot waters awhile back. Marking a picture as deleted isn't the same as deleting it. Some other mechanism could easily point to where the data is actually located and not just its descriptor.
- BillinghamJ 9y agoYes, it is. The legal definition of deletion under EU data protection laws is to make the data unusable and inaccessible. Marking for deletion (as deleting from a recycling bin does) is sufficient under those rules. Deleting the image ID and leaving the content on a CDN is not acceptable - but that's not what I said.
