@RichFelker@SwiftOnSecurity @MightyPork That's nothing good backups can't mitigate. Most places have good backups, right? *crickets* -
@0xMatt@SwiftOnSecurity @MightyPork Backups don't solve it. You can create abusive data and then delete in sub-backup-interval time. -
@RichFelker@SwiftOnSecurity @MightyPork Uh, if you've pwned the DB and can delete things, "you can't delete through the UI" doesn't apply -
@0xMatt@SwiftOnSecurity @MightyPork This conversation has nothing to do with "pwning the DB" but using the service to abuse third parties. -
@RichFelker@SwiftOnSecurity @MightyPork In your scenario, DB transaction logs would be what you investigate, not the live DB.#backups -
@0xMatt@SwiftOnSecurity @MightyPork I would not call deletion "hard" if you're saving DB transaction logs. -
@RichFelker@SwiftOnSecurity @MightyPork If it's not in the DB and it's out on a backup system, it's as deleted as you should get.

Sooo?
@RichFelker Who controls our data? Do we, the user, or do companies / authorities?@SwiftOnSecurity @MightyPork@jessysaurusrex -
@multesimus@SwiftOnSecurity If you're harassing another user via the site, you don't have any moral right to control/deletion of that data. -
@RichFelker Who's to judge if it's harassment? Still some need for someone, or something, to judge@SwiftOnSecurity
