Just because you get away with something in the moment, doesn't mean you've gotten away with it.

The energy from our actions doesn't expire,it lingers. You never know who sees or hears what, especially now with all the tracking software surrounding us especially our smartphones. If you think you've deleted something off your phone buddy you're wrong. Even after you clear your recycle bin the files can still be retrieved. Whatever it is you think you can get away with, it's not worth it and you probably won't get away with it anyway. Also Snapchat isn't private,just fyi.

It's true. It's very difficult to truly erase things from electronic devices and once things are online they're not in your control anymore.

The only way to be 100% sure that data on an electronic device can't be recovered is to destroy the device beyond all recognition and even that is harder than it sounds. Deletion of data is done by overwriting it. The number of overwrites increases the difficulty of retrieval. Basic deletion is easily retrievable. Essentially, unless people really know what they're doing then they should assume that the authorities will be able to recover their data.
