Submission + - Social networking sites keep deleted photos

mjpg writes: User photographs can still be found on many social networking sites even after people have deleted them. A Cambridge University, UK, test on 16 social network and photo sites found that most failed to remove photos from their servers after they were deleted.

To perform their experiment, the researchers uploaded photos to each of the sites, then deleted them, but kept a note of direct URLs to the photos from the sites' content delivery networks. When they checked 30 days later, these links continued to work for seven of the sites even though a typical user might think the photos had been removed.

The work is reported on the University of Cambridge Security Research blog and the BBC news web site.

With a decent micropayment system Google could really change the web. It's a shame this is not it. It's likely Google could blend micropayments into sites pretty well with their AJAX skills - and their infrastructure should mean that the implementation cost was marginal (for them). And search could benefit. A micropayment is a pretty good vote for a site.
