Why Facebook’s Political Moves Should Terrify Us A...
facebook also knows as much as your 'friends' choose to tell it about
you
unless you're vigilant and remove their posts to your wall or untag yourself and so forth.

You think that removes it from their database? They've already said that they don't delete the data, they just hide it.

How else would they keep people from re-tagging you?

Yep, every time I go to a political event my friends tag pictures of me there. I could untag, but I figure it'll still be in FB's database somewhere.
The same friends would freak out bad if government agents were taking the photos.
