Over 3 years later, "deleted" Facebook photos are still online

Facebook took the world by shock. It was brought up into one of the world’s biggest media sites. People were able to find old friends, connect with the friends they have and keep in contact with one another via chat and video chat. Allot of people use Facebook for business and a lot of people use it just for fun. The people that use it for fun are usually teenagers. Teenagers party a lot and at these parties a lot of smoking and drinking is taking place. Kids come with cameras and take photos of the events at the parties. These pictures are then put on to Facebook and are seen by the world whether or not your profile is on private. This affects a lot of people across the US. Mainly when people go looking for a job. When interviewed their boss has no background on this person so the first thing they turn to is Facebook. Once they see the pictures of this person smoking and drinking and acing crazy they already know that this person isn’t capable of working at their job. From avoiding this whole situation they try to delete their profiles but when people pull their names up they can still see the pictures. This has been a problem in the US because people want to get rid of those pictures but they can’t find a way to. They delete their profiles but the pictures are still on the internet so there isn’t any way they can hide this. Facebook is getting in trouble because people should have the right to take whatever pictures they want down and it should be off the internet. The Facebook company has to find a way to get peoples pictures off-line if they delete their profile because if not Facebook will be shutdown. There have been more complaints about people deleting their face books and their pictures still being online. If Facebook doesn’t find a way to stop this Facebook could be shut down for good. They really need to work on it and change this asap.

  1. I agree that Facebook has invaded privacy rights far too long. Facebook should be a social network strictly for fun and keeping in touch for friends. Although accounts can be private, your privacy is not there. Government Agencies can look through anyone's profile or pictures even after profiles are deleted. It's not fair that profiles cant be deleted and it's almost like a contract that you cant get out of. I am sure nobody wants to be creeped on by different agencies and it is highly offensive that Mark Zuckerberg would call his loyal Facebook users "Dumb F******". Facebook should do something about this because twitter is catching on and it is a lot more secure.Not only that but they could run into legal and financial problems soon. Also jobs can look through Facebook profiles with the help of some of these agencies to check on our dirty pasts. The message that this should send to viewers is to be very careful what is put online because nothing is hidden
