This speaks to a broader issue of data ownership on the internet. Who owns your comments and posts? In most cases, you give a perpetual and irrevocable license to the company or organization that hosts the site. That's probably ok for a comment like this one, but what about when it starts to leak into the real world? What about video recordings of yourself or others in your home? What if something sensitive is caught? What if something becomes sensitive later. It's not only a violation of trust for a company to retain data about you that they promised to delete, it's a large gap in our collective dialogue about the way technology influences our lives.
