Facebook can Record everything you type.

Jennifer Golbeck, Head of the HCI Lab and Teacher at the University of Maryland, States that these discarded thoughts don’t completely discard. 

Instead Facebook is using a code that keeps track of every time you delete a would-be message and sends metadata about that message back to its own data bases.

A new article written by Facebook data scientists and Ph.D. student Sauvik check the reasons for Facebook users’ “self-censorship” and  look at millions of users’ Deleted status, posts on other friend’s timelines, and comments on friend's’ posts.

Facebook is maintaining a record of all the data with self-censored posts such as when it was almost posted and when it was set to be posted on a friend’s page or on Wall. 

Developer say that Facebook desire to understand all the reasons that people decide against posting because the company “loses value from the lack of content generation” every time a would-be post get discard.

Golbeck say that: “Facebook’s want to get users to post absolutely everything that comes into their mind is somewhat perverse because the company is essentially encouraging the users to share each and everything  with their friends.


Facebook considers your thoughtful discretion about what to post , because its valueable from Facebook and from other users, she writes. Facebook records those all unposted thoughts to better understand there users, in order to build a system according to user's behavior.
