Hm... I curiously checked my phone, deleted images/videos are still deleted and haven't resurfaced. Then again I don't mix technology with nudity. /shrug

There are tons of reasons to take nude photos... you often have to send in nude photos for the beginning stages of surgery consultations.

And sexting is fun.

This comment comes across insanely judgemental of the individual, when the issue is that Apple deleting data and thus violating privacy.

It's not just nudes, though. This could happen for any deleted picture. I'm not really expecting them to zero out the file system block or anything, but this implies they're not even doing file system level deletion.

i'm almost certain this is more of a cloud bug than anything. Fucking up the incredibly basic process of "hey this shit isn't real, don't look here for anything" is hilarious.

There shouldnt be a fucking excuse. Did you accidentally roll back an fs journal? No, good, because that's how you get dataloss

I love mixing technology with nudity. But I have also avoided this problem because I don't mix technology and Apple.

So you use a de-googled android?

You don’t mix technology and YOUR nudity 😉

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I think mixing tech and nudity is awesome! I love getting dickpics!

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Did you think some else's nudes might have resurfaced there...?

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

No they're just feeling morally superior for no good reason.

As a rule, files never get deleted... They get over written. So it depends on whether that process has happened to any loose images.
