If I hadn't seen exactly the same thing with my own eyes then I would be tempted to believe you. I said this previously in another Facebook related thread: Facebook don't properly delete content that you choose to delete. Photos, check-ins and posts are just archived. I've been through and deleted everything manually on my timeline back to 2007. I noted that certain pages still showed the "counts" of content that had long been deleted: - http://i.imgur.com/zdwTl.png - http://i.imgur.com/27RFG.png Recently I went back to delete some of the newer content. To my surprise, ALL of my previous posts, and comments had returned. I don't think Facebook are playing fair. Delete means delete, and I want to delete it permanently. If they archive the data instead of deleting it, then they should say 'archive' on the damn button. I also no longer trust Facebook at all. I don't post on it, and keep the account only for OAuth testing purposes (and lurking). If my deleted posts mysteriously appear again I plan on updating every single one to gibberish. Maybe quoting loremgibson.com or 1984.
