Oh hey, it looks like I still have the Delicious code from my four month job at Yahoo! I guess I could re-use this now that Yahoo is dead, but my code would be haunted by ghost lawyers.pic.twitter.com/XzcGb31vJT

If you stored sensitive data in http://del.icio.us a dozen years ago, well, I bought it from some random SEO dude for about the price of a nice car, and now I'm tweeting it to the world for laughs. Contact me for a privacy pricing plan!
Knowing how these systems work, stuff you deleted is probably in a deleted_bookmarks table. Stuff you did not consent to transfer from Yahoo to AVOS is probably in a consent_pending table. Winching myself further down into the data mine now.
