News: Your deleted photos might still exist somewhere in the network.

A photo deletion flaw has been discovered by ‘Ars Technica’ recently which suggested that a photo that you deleted are still accessible to those with the links to these photos months or years later.This flaw had even  been pointed out three years ago and despite that still continues to exist!

The company has always persisted that all content you add to the site remains yours and you have full control over it , but this flaw raises questions on their principal of maintaining control over your data. While Facebook’s data retention policy doesn’t address deleted content directly , it states ,”typically takes about one month to delete an account, but some information may remain in backup copies and logs for up to 90 days.”

In response to this investigation, Frederic Wolens, Facebook spokesperson said “photos remaining online are stuck in a legacy system that was apparently never operating properly,” he also explained tough the photos had been removed from the site instantly, they remained held in a content delivery system. The engineers are currently working on moving the old images to a system that will remove the content within 45 days. This change could take up to 2 months to take place at the least, till then you cannot be sure where your photos might be lurking around the net.
