Facebook collected users' videos instead of deleting them!

Facebook also stores videos of users that have not been published and that should have been deleted as user information. The discovery was reported by the outraged Internet users, and the service apologizes for explaining a technical error and ensures that the previously archived content has been permanently deleted.

In an effort to improve the feedback on its data collection policy, Facebook has provided users with a tool that allows them to download and view a complete archive of the information about them collected by the platform. Some internet users were surprised to discover that there were also recorded but never published video recordings. Users were confident that such videos were permanently deleted after they had been deleted from their accounts. Meanwhile, they have been uploaded into the archives, and Facebook has had full access to them and has been able to share them externally.
After another privacy incident, Facebook issued a message explaining a technical error not related in any way to its data collection policy. The company ensures that unpublished video recordings are now being corrected and that the fault does not recur in the future.

How convenient to say it is a technical error. Maybe we should all get a full "technical" report of how it occurred.
