3 years later, Facebook still can't delete photos correctly

I doubt that. If the image is being removed, say because it contains an embarrassing picture that was accidentally posted, you can bet someone copied the link and shared it or posted it somewhere. Also, image lookup services like tineye could also grab a hold of them unless they are gone for good.

Don't get me wrong, I still believe that posting ANY picture on Facebook you don't want the whole world to see is just plain stupid.

Let's remember that it's not only the people in embarrassing pictures who upload them. Sometimes rude friends or colleagues take pictures of us without even telling us, and upload them.
