This article talks about how the process for data deletion on the popular networking website Facebook has come under fire. Apparently data, including entire profiles which people have intended to delete has remained on the website. There is also the concern that the data which is posted by millions of people every day might be stored in some capacity even after it is supposedly permanently deleted. More disturbing than what is being done with accounts that are deleted, though is what is potentially being done with the information on the website which can be easily gleaned by creating a fake account. For example, though most users do not have administrative powers to access the information which facebook compiles and sells to advertisers, it is easy to access a large majority of profiles by simply browsing through the network of the user's choice. What this theoretically and really leads to is datamining--people attempting to compile databases of other people's information. Some of that information is intended to be private, or at least meant to not be part of someone else's private database. One obvious way that this might play out in the minds of the most paranoid privacy advocate is with biometric data. Ironically, rather than being forced into giving up picture and name identifications to the government or insurance companies, a rapidly increasing number of facebook users are offering up this information via their facebook profiles. The potential consequence are many and well documented in such fictional works or literature as 1984, the Giver, Minority Report, and the like.
