Twenty years ago i applied for a job as a web strategist. The ad was an incredibly perfect fit for me. Despite my confidence I wasn’t even called to an interview.
I questioned this in an email and asked if they perhaps would reconsider. Whereupon the manager asked that my cv and application be returned to me.
This was all through email, so the idea they thought they could ”return” my application was hilarious to me. They only created yet another copy.
Today I see people making the same logical errors with regards to moving data.
When you request an archive or move data out of your cloud drive and then close your account with a provider, you haven’t ”taken back” your data.
You have to expect your data to still be stored with them in many backups. You’ve just created yet another copy,
This is the nature of digital.
