Just because you can delete facebook etc doesn't mean it is really gone / it is completely unrecoverable by someone who knows what they are doing. There are ways of getting that information back... There are ways of getting back earlier versions of drafts of stuff I've written in Word... Ways of restoring my computer to certain points back in history... Fairly sure things like facebook are the same...
Just saying... That I'm not sure that any of those things are any safer. Just more willing to present the illusion of safety.
I remember this exhibition I went to... This artist was displaying his work... Which was him taking photographs of other peoples work. Some people were horrified that he was portraying other peoples work as his own or that he was mutilating their work by not presenting it in its original form or whatever... Other people felt that his photographs were his own art. What he did with their work (in photographing it) was every bit as much art as their work was...
I mean to say... That a case could be made of Bob as an artist in his presenting the photos that he takes... Of other peoples work -- he does eventually tell us what it is / where he got it... I think he only doesn't do that to start with because he wants us to view it with fresh eyes... Not to start out with preconceptions about it... And people have fun guessing or working it out...
Anyway...
I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. And I wish you the best for your journey.
