All the nasty comments you made but - thankfully - didn't post: You don't think they're stored somewhere

@DancingStarGoddess

It's hard for me to think of you being unkind.

@rinkydinkydoink it's rare but when it happens, they earned it 🙈

@GeretJan

Naw... Google AI all but laughed at me for asking that question.

@rinkydinkydoink I don't care any more about it being somewhere. Rather not in public. For now. Perhaps when I'm older and can't do anything any more. It's a worry.

@GeretJan

Here is what I got for an answer (the key phrase is "once information is published ")


The phrase "nothing gets lost on the internet" is a practical warning rather than a literal scientific fact. While it doesn't mean every single byte you've ever typed is easily accessible to the public, it warns that once information is published, you lose control over its permanence.
