I just read this article (http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jul/14/gchq-tools-manipulate-online-information-leak).
I'm honestly surprised that people are shocked that this might actually be the truth. Did people honestly think they have privacy when using Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and especially these forums? I mean, seriously.,, c'mon people.
If you're going to take naked pictures of your girlfriend, boyfriend, or whoever, don't think that by you putting them on your Google Drive that you're guaranteed privacy. Will the data be backed up? Sure. Will you ever be able to truly delete it? You probably have a better chance of hell freezing over. It's funny how comfortable people have gotten with the internet over the last 10 years or so.
When I first started these forums the internet was already huge, but social networks like Facebook and Myspace were really just starting out. Actually, I think these forums were started before them. (Hey! Go Chris!) But certainly then I think we all had a good understanding that by no means were we ever guaranteed privacy on the internet when relying on a third party to store our data. When the hell did we cross this line that we demand privacy by using Facebook or other forms of social media?

Hell. There are posts made by people on forums that haven't existed for years (https://web.archive.org/web/20030525170858/http://www.hackernetwork.com/forum/printthread.php?threadid=3898) that you still can't get rid of.
EDIT: Heh! I just ran across this gem (https://web.archive.org/web/20030830101647/http://www.hackernetwork.com/forum/printthread.php?threadid=6085). :-D

If you're going to take naked pictures of your girlfriend, boyfriend, or whoever,
... share them here. Just to make it easy for the NSA, GCHQ, WTFBBQ, and all the other acronyms.
