Still having pics online on facebook you’d better not have posted? Deleting
them now is no option either for quick vanishing. As Ars Technica has found
out now, the pictures will still last for three more years until they get deleted.
Facebook has already admitted that theyir system is “fairly” slow in this.

However you’d better consider now what you’re uploading to facebook as pictures of any rather awkward situations will follow you for the next three years if the one who has the direct links to the picture is using them on his website or other media.

Facebook confronted with this situation now has promised to accelerate the process in order to satisfy the needs of their “customers”. However I doubt that all will go on so smooth and sound.
