Facebook Keeps Your Deleted Photos Accessible for Years

Remember that picture you thought would be hilarious, so you uploaded it to Facebook, then later realized how incredibly embarrassing it was so you removed it? Well, it's still accessible if someone copied the URL of the photo, even if it was deleted years ago.

Ars Technica recently posted an article about how bad Facebook is about actually removing photos that have been deleted from their servers. Their example was a photo posted 16 months ago and was still accessible by the address of the photo. Of course once they pointed this out Facebook quickly deleted it. One user commented about a photo of his child that was posted 2.5 years ago that he deleted and it is still accessible. Deleted 2.5 years ago and it's still accessible? Wow... it's hard to say how long the photos will stay on their servers!

Always be careful what you post online. I believe it was the CEO from Google that said once you upload something to the internet, its forever.

  6. Much has been said about the Off Facebook Activity tool that was released a while back to give users better control over which services and apps can access and share their Facebook data. But won't our privacy be compromised by using it? Cheap Dissertation Writing Service

  9. Facebook's handling of deleted photos has raised privacy concerns, as the platform retains access to images even after users delete them. This raises concerns about data permanence in the digital age, as users may not fully remove content from the web. The incident serves as a reminder that data can live on in cached versions, backups, or through URL links, raising significant privacy and security risks. The delay in Facebook's response to Ars Technica's report highlights a systemic issue that may affect more than just photos, emphasizing the importance of public scrutiny and accountability in tech companies' data practices and users' awareness of the long-term implications of their online activity. military divorce lawyer chesapeake va
