Nope. Things you post on the internet are forever. Like unshooting a gun. You have to live with it for the rest of your life.
Used to be...
Now they would last for as long as websites keep paying their bills each year.
Pages are not even cached any longer by web search engines...
Government’s intelligence outfits used to mine and create copies of all websites, deep branching them for posterity and data mining ⛏, much like they did all our fax traffic (reason why fax speeds were capped to allow caching into searchable databases).
Once online data flows became increasingly larger, the output capacity outstripped the government’s databanks.
Nowadays the trend is targeted mining of key 🔐 events and actors, of which China’s outstripped the world with their outlandish cloud capacity in raw databases.
It’s not what you know, but how much of it and when. China can go back on the timeline for years, unimpeded. Their impressive space program and its rocket 🚀 like rise into prominence are based on that capacity of timeline research.
White papers are now more strictly secured and leaner.
The US ran a corporate espionage program well into the late 90’s. Later replaced by the practice of planting operatives into software and hardware developing companies. Which is how Microsoft became a Swiss 🧀 cheese in security for exploits. Toolkits were planted at development levels and left at the root to fester until called upon.
Their attempts at open software have been moot, but doable as they exploited the hardware points to gain entry and control.
Nowadays their own root toolkits are being used to probe and violate their own data centers with prejudice.
So, type away and just be wary of one thing:
They know as much of you as you disclose on your own online. You can fool their system by thinking 💭 of always being an avatar online. Keep your character clean and pare down real intent.
