Even if you delete incriminating photos on your Facebook profile, the company is keeping them accessible to anyone online for up to 30 months.

Antonio R on 28 Oct 10woahhhhh that seems really creepy. i dont think that is right for a company to have a deleted photo of you for 30 months. if you delete it, then you delete it for a reason, not so even more people that are in a company to see you doing something that you thought people to see but then relized it was stupid to put this on in the first place.

This article points out that up to 30 months after photos are deleted from Facebook that they are still there. If someone has the direct URL to a photo, it is still accessible. Students should be taught about this and we should educate ourselves as well. Once something is uploaded it is out there. Period. You cannot take it back.
