I saw a comment somewhere saying the title and had links but I lost the comment now. One of the links was going to raddle.me which is a Reddit like site

    What about The Internet Archive? Search engines cache? Copies made by other people? etc.

    This is a public platform; don’t share things you don’t want to be shared. You can’t truly expect anything being deleted forever everywhere.

      I mean, we can absolutely want that. And data farming is bad. Just objectively. Having a conversation in a public area irl isn’t consent to being recorded (not that it is always illegal to do so). And Why should it be on the internet? If the delete option doesn’t actually delete anything, it should clearly reflect that. I have no idea why you would argue against user control of their data.

        But you don’t need consent to record someone in public. If you want to have a private conversation, then have a private conversation. Having a conversation in public and expecting it to remain private is over entitlement in my opinion. You have absolutely no expectation to privacy in a public space, nor should you.

          But we can, its the internet. Why shouldn’t we be able to delete things? I’m not a ceo, I’m not a politician. The world has no vested interest in preserving a post i make. I should have control of my data. I seriously cannot fathom how anyone could possibly argue otherwise. I’m an ordinary civilian, and my data should belong to me and I should be able to have it deleted if I so choose. Note that every single massive social media platform essentially by law has to provide you means to do this. Lemmy should not be exempt from this. Whats the point of leaving reddit to join another platform that doesn’t respect its user base? It’s nonsense.

          And I never said it was illegal, but its obviously wrong to walk up to 2 people sitting on a park bench having a quiet conversation between the two of them and record it without even asking them.
