Self-destructing posts for Facebook and Twitter

I am almost certain, that the social media sites still keep a copy after you delete your stuff.
 
Great idea but what about screenshots......

Do not send anything you do not want others to see and or store.... All they need to do on their side is 'print screen' and your message or photo is theirs to do with as they want......

I just heard back from my detective team about this, they tune me the the key is in the word deactivate. IDK man, I think I got grounds for a lawsuit.

Anyway I'll be checking with them again later, I got them working in shifts. Will keep you updated.

They keep the profile alive for 30 days. Then it's gone...

Nope, I deactivated for about 2 months and it was still there. Think it depends how you deactivate, as in reason for deactivation.

If you deactivate your account, your timeline disappears from the Facebook service immediately. People on Facebook won't be able to search for you, though some info, like messages you sent, may still be visible to others. We also save your timeline information (ex: friends, photos, interests, etc.) in case you want to come back.

If you don't think you'll use Facebook again, you can request to have your account permanently deleted. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to reactivate your account or retrieve anything you've added. Before you do this, you may want to download a copy of your info from Facebook. Then, if you'd like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log into your account and fill out this form.
