Good. I hope people do not feel I am being overtly critical, but deleting the photos mean nothing. Once something is posted on the internet, especially Facebook

Good. I hope people do not feel I am being overtly critical, but deleting the photos mean nothing. Once something is posted on the internet, especially Facebook, it can not be un-posted. At least, that is what my understanding is.
- lgl 6y agoYou're not wrong in the sense that things get cached, mirrored, scraped, etc, and probably live forever inside Facebook's datacenters even when "removed", but there is still a valid case for not wanting the pictures posted on a public profile for all eternity.
- joshspankit 6y agoThis is exactly the point: it being in FB’s “big pile of everything they’ve ever seen“ is entirely different than it being publicly available. And therefore there is a purpose to having it taken down.

But in the thread next door everyone is screaming that social media companies have complete, absolute and unchecked power over all forms of human communication and expression, and that when someone is deplatformed or their channel is banned, they and their content are all but permanently erased from human society.
