Turns out ‘delete’ doesn’t quite mean the same thing to Facebook as it does to you ... and Juliana Kanyomozi.
You know how Facebook makes you believe that a post you deleted is completely gone? Well, be scared, because the Menlo Park, California social networking giant doesn't actually delete your deleted data.
Yesterday, Sept. 16, a post that seemed to be mocking singer Pallaso appeared on Juliana Kanyomozi's official Facebook fan page. The post contained a link from The Kampala Sun website headlining that the Twatoba singer had "died in his own movie" following an apparent disastrously embarrassing flop of his show in Mukono.
Juliana came out a few hours after she deleted the post and quoted Blizz Uganda website that followed the upshots and published a story titled "Juliana Opens Up A Beef With Pallaso" and said;
Now slow down here BLIZZ UGANDA!!
My digital team made a mistake earlier and accidentally shared an article about Pallaso on my page. It was unfortunate, but that shouldn't in any way give you a right to start spreading such gossip. The mistake was immediately corrected. I have deep respect for all my fellow artists and it's not about to change.
We live in a digital world and mistakes like that can happen.
My sincere apologies to Pallaso. You know I have mad respect for you bro.
May be it's high time she started taking social media seriously and managed her own accounts, right?!
After deleting the post, Juliana thought it's gone. No, it's not ... because the post wasn't actually deleted and we can still access it through a direct link.

The Facebook Terms and Conditions page states;
“When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer,” ... “However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).”
Facebook reps told Digital Trends, in a conversation, that ... the fact that that when you actually delete content on Facebook, it only goes away if it’s permanently deleted – which is tricky. The problem with permanently deleting anything on Facebook is the fact that nothing is actually seemingly deleted. Just simply “deleting” content stores the content to a backup Facebook drive temporarily. As Facebook puts it:
“Some of this information is permanently deleted from our servers; however, some things can only be deleted when you permanently delete your account.”
Deleting your entire account works in a similar manner. Users can “delete” their accounts; however accessing the account again reactivates the account.
Conclusively, nothing is actually deleted ... hear that peeps?!
