Oft times, we make a post in the heat of the moment on some particular social network. Then, some time later, we have second thoughts, and we decide to remove/delete that post for whatever our reasons. In this particular case, I am using Facebook as an example, because I am certain that what I am stating here is true. While removing that post may give us some peace of mind, it is also giving us a false sense of security. Why? Because while we may have hit the "Delete" button and removed that post or image from our timeline, page, group or album, that does NOT mean that it is really gone. The fact of the matter is that even after you delete a post, Facebook STILL has a copy of it stored on their CDN servers somewhere around the world. And, as far as I know, they will keep it for as long as they want. In other words, it is my belief that they keep a FULL RECORD of everything we have ever posted on their platform.

Where is My Facebook Comment? https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/where-is-my-facebook-comment/ Sometimes, after making a comment under one of my graphics on Facebook, people become a little confused, offended, or even angry, and they will say something like "Where is my comment? I can't find it. Why did you delete it?" However, what some of you need to be made aware of, is that things are not always what they seem. Allow me to explain. First of all, I very rarely ever delete comments from my Facebook friends. If and when I do that, it is usually because a person has been or becomes very disrespectful, combative, argumentative, or because they have posted something which I strongly feel is contrary to the Scriptures. If they persist in their negative activity, I will warn them a few times. But if that doesn't work, then I will either unfriend them so that they can no longer comment on my posts, or else I will block them altogether, if the situation merits it. ...
