Can you stop anyone keeping a copy of everything that someone tries to tombstone, though?

  I think this is an interesting hypothetical. If you never sync up, though, are you still part of the app developers aura of responsibility? Deletion of the data has been initialized per requirement, and will propagate through the system at the rate the system is able to propagate data. If someone changes their system to avoid the data being deleted, presumably that would then have to accept the liability / responsibility for deletion. But that’s already moot anyway, because we’re not talking about a court of law, but a court of App Store publication, which it would already no-longer be a part of.

    I just need versioned file system. or make copies, or well anythting. Te entire idea of deleting public information and all players are well-behaved, etc. is beyond futile.

  No, you can’t. But you also can’t stop someone from screenshotting everything you do online. The reality is that most people don’t have hardcore enemies that go out of their way to do things like that. And if you do, you ideally would have them blocked anyway. Regardless, not posting totally publicly is becoming the norm now anyway. Posting in some kind of context limits the danger of this level of malicious snooping.
