This is how every website on the internet works. It’s why they say everything is permanent on the internet.
Some companies have to enforce retention policies for business and/or legal reasons, which means they actually have to delete your data if they say they will.
Some sites only “soft” delete things because it’s simply easier and cheaper.
Regardless, I can’t reiterate what you said enough:
Nobody should ever once in their life assume that data they post online will be discarded, ever. Maybe it will, but never assume it will. Even if you run the server yourself and delete the data files on your server and send the hard disks into the sun, if the data was ever accessed, you should treat it as if it’s been captured and retained somewhere.
True about the retention periods but I don’t have a whole lot of trust when it comes to other companies keeping my data so I always assume everything is permanent and backed up somewhere.
