Have you ever thought what really happens when you delete data on the Internet?
If you thought that after your deleting the data, it is done and dusted, you are wrong.
Anything that one posts on social media is not private.
What about the awkward Facebook statuses or tweets that you may have posted years ago but have deleted since?
Can you ever actually remove something from the Internet?
The answer to this question is largely a grey area as no one can be absolutely sure about it.
For instance, take a regular email.
When you delete it from your inbox, it goes to a Deleted Items folder.
You permanently kill that message from your end by emptying that folder.
This implies for all social media posts, emails, and text messages, too.
This in reality means your deleted data is never really deleted from Facebook servers.
Gmail
Googles Gmail also follows a similar polity to Facebook.
Gmail may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers, after you delete an email.
Twitter doesnt have a forthright answer to this question.
Snapchat
When you view a snap, its automatically deleted from the companys serversin most cases.
It doesnt however stipulate exactly in which cases the images are saved.
Instagram owned by Facebook is as ambiguous as its parent about the content deletion policy.
As mentioned earlier, it is very ambiguous.
Are you freaked out by this?

Its more realistic to make a social media blunder that risks your joblike the people behind these recent scandals.
Warning…dont follow their footsteps.
