I just have to throw my worthless 2 cents in on this. :-)

I believe that people are being deluded into thinking that
their posts are not being archived somewhere, when the
"programmers" promise they will be deleted. 

Apps like SnapChat that promise an image or message is going to be 
deleted after 10 seconds, are just the NSA's way of trying
rebuild faith in the state surveillance system after the Snowden
debacle.

The fact is that once your message hits the network, it is recorded
by a mysterious agency somewhere.

Things are recorded as they PASS over the network!  
Not at the end points.
Google and SnapChat and FaceBook, et al, mean nothing
when they say your message is gone.

Sure it's gone, gone to a huge data warehouse out in the
desert somewhere.

If you want absolute privacy, do not use the internet, unless
you have some heavy duty encryption schemes going.

Thats the facts.
