This is a big reason I view the new “we’ll automatically delete your data!” Crap as disingenuous at best. They’ve already learned everything from the data in a few hours, it’s useless after that anyhow.
- javagram 7y agoA big problem with data is not the company itself using it, but other ways it can come back to bite you. E.g. a sexual photo retrieved from a private social media album is no threat to your reputation when it’s been assumed into some machine learning model for detecting sexual photos, but it’s certainly a threat if a future data leak allows your enemies to get the actual .PNG or .JPG and send it to the news media or your loved ones. Knowing that the photo can actually be deleted is valuable in this case and I’m sure there are many other similar ones that could be listed.
