The article I chose was Over 3 years later, "deleted" Facebook photos are still online and it was published on February 7th, 2012 .When you throw away your trash, it never comes back but according to Facebook, after deleting pictures three years ago they still seem to not be completely deleted. The company admitted that their systems for storing uploaded content does not always delete the photos. They say you can still access the photos through a direct link. This can be very had because once reporters heard of this they started to do some reach and ask around to see what they could find. The reporters had been told some awful stories about how people deleted the photo but because someone could still access it by a specific link, people would bring it back up and torture and in some cases harass the person about their picture.
Reporters have asked if this situation has improved since the lasted time they asked and had confirmed that there systems have still not been changed and this problem was discovered back in 2008. It is 2012 with modern technology and they have still not fixed this problem. Maybe this why tweeter has become such a big hit in the social media world because people can still communicate with on another but did not have to post pictures. Also, parents can feel safer that their kids are still communicating with other and no pictures are being posted of their child doing something wrong. Now knowing that what I put up on Facebook can follow me for a long time, I will have to be a lot more careful for what I post. I would not want my family or peers to see me if I did something wrong and then have to worry for years that they could still find it and use that photo against me. Maybe this is also why the creator of Tweeter made Tweeter, to help the social media reputation and to have a safer network for others to use.
