“User photographs can still be found on many social networking sites even after people have deleted them, Cambridge University researchers have said.”
The above was the first thing that I saw when I checked out the latest tech news around the globe. It was said that Facebook and some other social networking sites have been doing this for unknown reasons. The researchers of Cambridge University made an experiment of uploading some pictures, saving the direct URL for each pictures, erased every single one of them, then tried the URLs after thirty days, and much to their surprise, the supposed deleted photos can still be accessed, proving that their theory that social networking web sites really do keep deleted pictures without the owners’ consent, while they are given the impression that the photos were already removed. It should also be noted that Facebook had some issues in the past where the social networking web site stated in their rules that they own every single detail that users input to their system. In my view, I think these social networking web sites should do their jobs properly and not take advantage of the people that use their sites. The mere fact that people use their services already makes them money. So why even steal people’s private details?
