I'm mostly confused by a lot of the privacy talk, personally. If you post something on a public forum there practically cannot be a guarantee of deletion.

My concerns with privacy are abusive trackers scraping data like whati I'm personally looking at, how long I look at posts, what times of day and background ad tracking that for far beyond even that.

Sure, people can use the things I've consented to posting online to do market research or whatever. But that's not something that can be practically stopped without end to ende encryption and then that's just... A matrix? To me it feels like a lot of the privacy complaints have revolved around wanting a social media to do something entirely removed from what a public facing social media even is at a core level.

I'm interested to hear peoples thoughts on improving the privacy, but I really do think there is a lot going into this expectation of deletion that isn't very practical when there are way more pressing issues about privacy violations.
