How could you pass phonecalls or conversations unless they are being recorded? (Wait, are they being recorded?! /s)

I mean, I understand that some people think that our relationships to phones and digital world somehow are deeper/more-private than any other medium we had before...

But I'm pretty sure people felt that diaries and love letters were pretty private before Facebook or Bell's invention.

Phone companies werent willingly storing our "content" to profit from it. They were storing calls because of court orders.

Facebook is storing our data for posterity and I have a right to request Facebook to rid/edit that data (even if it's just marking it as "deleted") and think my next of kin should inherit the same rights I had over that data.
