Facebook says it “mistakenly deleted” some of Zuckerberg's old Facebook posts that were public and reported on, including a post about the Instagram acquisition
and his promise that Facebook would keep the app independent. Years later, he has walked back this commitment and its cofounders have quit. (Screenshot via TechCrunch article from the time.) pic.twitter.com/0qbtbnHzNF Rob Price / @robaeprice : Numerous public posts made by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (including everything from 2006 to 2007) have gone missing, obscuring details about core moments in Facebook's history. The company blames “technical errors” — but won't restore the posts. http://twitter.com/... Kevin Roose / @kevinroose : Damn, hate when I'm trying to post a photo to Facebook and I accidentally hit the “Delete All My Posts From 2007 and 2008, Plus Some Posts From 2012 and 2013 Concerning Key Company Events, But Leave The Rest Up” button http://twitter.com/... Steve Kopack / @stevekopack : The huge cache of “mistakenly” deleted posts — which the company is not going to restore — include key commitments from Zuckerberg such as when he “promised that 'we're committed to building and growing Instagram independently' — a commitment he has since walked back.” https://twitter.com/...

Ryan Mac / @rmac18 : l m f a o http://twitter.com/... Rob Price / @robaeprice : ALSO: Facebook quietly made changes to its archive of announcements & blogs, breaking old links and making it impossible to navigate unless you knew what you were searching for. (After I reached out today to ask about it, Facebook added a navigation tool.) http://www.businessinsider.com/ ... Rob Price / @robaeprice : This isn't the first time Mark Zuckerberg's content has mysteriously gone missing from Facebook. @JoshConstine reported in 2018 that the CEO's sent messages were being deleted from people's inboxes without their knowledge or consent. https://techcrunch.com/...
