Question

which of the following statements best describes the permanency of online activity?
a. the activity of social media users is only accessible if their account is active
b. if users delete a post, they no longer see it, but it is stored on servers and could be made available again
c. social media posts are only available through the users account and can be taken down at any time
d. people can only access your online activity if you share it with them

Explanation:

When users delete a post on social media, while it may seem removed from their view, it often remains stored on servers. This is because servers keep backups and caches. So, the post could potentially be retrieved or made available again in the future. Option A is incorrect as even if an account is de - activated, some activity might still be accessible (e.g., if it was shared widely). Option C is wrong because posts can exist on servers beyond just the user's account. Option D is incorrect as there are many ways (e.g., server access, data breaches in some cases) that online activity can be accessed without direct sharing.

Answer:

B. If users delete a post, they no longer see it, but it is stored on servers and could be made available again
