What does it mean to have a social network where you can't delete anything?

I don't think we have quite grasped the implications yet

Is FC practically any different from X in this regard? 

In both, you can delete your content from the network, but people can preserve your content against your will be screenshotting or using APIs to download.

With X I only need to request them to take down my content. Even if others index it, it still gives plausible deniability (esp. with more generative content/fakes/AI, etc.). 

With FC and other web3 socials, easy indexing + cryptographic proofs would make it hard to completely delete (or deny)

This is a good point. Literally everything is undeletable & undeniable.

But I'm certainly not writing off web3 social (in fact I'm insanely bullish - composability & permissless innovation is a huge upgrade for creators & devs).  I'm just saying we should take privacy implications very seriously

Fully agree
