   Actually deleting content would be a very expensive operation at Facebook's scale. Flagging it as deleted is the most optimal way. What's troubling is that this content somehow got undeleted on its own. Not once, but twice.

    There are lots of message queues that overcome this. A good example is Apache Kafka ( http://incubator.apache.org/kafka/ )

    It would be interesting to know if their definition of an "Active Google+ user" has changed. Otherwise those stats don't mean a thing.
