If you click the button to delete that data, though, it is actually deleted.

  Is it though? Who knows how Google has crafted their language and legal loopholes to "technically" delete your data in one way while retaining it in another? And that doesn't even get into things like PRISM.

    PRISM was a web portal that the NSA used to serve NSLs, FISA court orders, and other requests for information to tech firms. It wasn't an all-seeing eye of Sauron that had full access to their backends.

      Your characterization is not accurate. Please reference the government slides themselves: https://nsa.gov1.info/dni/prism.html https://nsa.gov1.info/dni/prism.html

        Nothing in those slides contradicts me. The PRISM vs Upstream slide makes it very clear that PRISM requests are done through the front door, because PRISM-to-vendor communication is 'laundered' through the FBI.

    Retaining data that you said you had deleted is a major liability, especially now with GDPR.
