How much of you does Facebook retain?

 
According to a study conducted by an Austrian law student who wanted to know how much data about him had been stored by the world's largest social network during his three (3) year membership, he requested copy from Facebook. And you know what, Facebook sent him a CD containing 1,222 pages of data. As reported by the German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel, the student said:
''Everything had been stored-every message, every chat, including sensitive information about friends.''
Included was information that he was sure he deleted!

So what is the message, be careful how you use the social network, don't sell out yourself so cheaply. If you have posted a nude picture of yourself and you think you have deleted it, sorry, facebook has a copy and if you use it to dupe people, one day nemesis will track you!!!
