The Illusion of Deletion
It is important to remember that changing a post's visibility to "Private" does not delete it from the internet. The social media company still has it on their servers, and anyone who took a screenshot can still share it.
Privacy settings protect you from casual snooping by strangers, employers, and basic data scrapers, but they are not a silver bullet.
Best Practice: The only true privacy setting is deciding not to post sensitive information in the first place.
