A bit macabre but some non-zero number are dead. I've frequently wondered if there will be a way to scrub/compile my online activity (within reason) for my family and friends to review after it's all said and done, otherwise I'll just live in a database forever.

It’ll probably deleted.

Then again, conversations are usually deleted the moment they happen, in the sense that they don’t get stored.

Roughly nothing has been deleted since 2005 or so, with limited exceptions.
My forever-lost Myspace content begs to differ (I am somewhat kidding, and very salty about it)
It was sold to the highest bidder, not deleted. A related issue.
