Social media companies in general aren’t clear on how long they keep information users thought they’d deleted, but TikTok is less transparent than others. Law enforcement is ready to take advantage.
is a little more complicated. It says it retains data depending on its “nature” and the relevant legal requirements. “For example,” the policy says, “when you search for something on Facebook, you can access and delete that query from within your search history at any time, but the log of that search is deleted after six months. If you submit a copy of your government-issued ID for account verification purposes, we delete that copy 30 days after review, unless otherwise stated.
Police are increasingly interested in raiding data from TikTok. And the FBI thinks it can get deleted information from the Chinese-owned social network giant. How long TikTok keeps deleted information and how U.S. law enforcement can get such data from the China-based company is less transparent.
The FBI’s request for information on Enriquez, who was suspected of robberies in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, California and Mississippi, went to an address in Culver City, California, where TikTok set up a West Coast office in 2020. As the FBI agent who wrote the search warrant notes in the court filing, “even if ... content is removed, locked or deleted, often social media companies retain the data on their information systems.
Enriquez was indicted in April in both Arizona and Texas. He hasn’t filed a plea in Arizona, though he pleaded not guilty in Texas. “People confuse deleted and erased,” said Professor Alan Woodward, an encryption and security expert at the University of Surrey in the U.K. “True secure erasure has always required overwriting the storage and memory with unrelated data to remove the original. Many messenger apps make claims but the devil is in the detail, and forensic techniques can recover to an extraordinary level of detail.”
