Well, then I guess you're calling a majority of the population (including doctors, lawyers, artist, musicians, etc) "stupid".

This could easily be mitigated if we enforced privacy laws saying that if you tell someone something is deleted, then it must actually be securely deleted. They might even be on the books already, just enforce them.
