inShareThree years after news first broke about Facebook’s snail-like
response to photo deletion requests, it appears that the site is finally
deleting photos in a timely manner.
Ars Technica writer Jacqui Cheng first reported
on the matter in 2009 when she noticed that while Facebook was removing
deleted photos from the site right away, the images were still
acessible directly using their URLs — easy enough to grab with a right
click. In February,
Cheng took another look at Facebook’s performance and found that many
photos deleted three years earlier could still be accessed with direct
links.
Thankfully, things have been put right with improved infrastructure
and a new 30-day "max-age" policy for removing deleted photos from its
content delivery networks, although Cheng reports her own photos
disappeared within two days. Of course, the safest way to ensure
embarrassing photos don’t end up on the web is not to upload them in the
first place.
