Once it’s on the internet, it’ll be there till the day you die.
Unless it’s something you want to stay. Then it vanishes into the ether, and nobody seems to have it archived anywhere.

“Permanently removed forever.” Once it’s on the internet, it’s there forever.

It’s always sad. I read a bit about hobby gameboy game development and a few sites where stilll up, but a lot of links where dead. A few tools just disappeared with all download links dead.

That implies that all your photos disappear the moment you die

Whoops, but you know what I’m getting at right?

I think i do…
You’re saying that the native Americans were right, that photographs capture a part of your soul, and so when you die, the photographs die with you!(I understood what you said the first time, i just felt like being a bit of a silly goose)

Sometimes your photos appear only after you die!

Unless you actually want it scrubbed.
I’m reminded every year on my Facebook memories of this fact when I posted the Donald Trump Iprah interview where he said he’d run as a Republican because they’re the dumbest voters and we had a long conversation about it in my feed, and the video is removed. And every instance of it is gone. And snopes has a fake fact check on it, claiming it was from a magazine and was false. And people have discussions about it being a Mandela effect thing.
Except we quote it in our conversations on my old Facebook post.
The internet is not a bastion of unfettered memory that cannot be manipulated. That whole thing shattered that illusion for me.
