> The president of the European Commission auto-deletes messages from her phone in part to save storage space, the EU executive said this week.
That raises two questions:
1. Are they really stupid enough to think their explanation is credible ?
2. Why do they refuse to give the real reason ?
It’s surprising that storage space would still be an issue at that level
not paying for enough icloud storage? 😂
Totally reasonable explanation.
I’m in the same age group and i also delete my messages for “saving space”. I know that modern hardware, like i have, don’t run out of space that easily. But i’m old enough to remember when you had to keep deleting your email and phone texts constantly because you ran out of space. Deleting is just a habit at this point because i’m used to it.
Not defending what she may or may not have done, just pointing out that it’s totally reasonable explanation.
EDIT: Also, if i was working as high position as her, i would most definitely delete my messages regularly for security reasons. Imagine losing your work phone that has thousands of classified rated texts / messages… I’m a nobody, and i still do it for security reasons as well (in addition to the earlier comment about saving space)
Still deleting old messages and e-mails is extremely common among people that were actually around during the 90s. It is a perfectly reasonable explanation.
Does the EU Commission not have records management rules? In many companies you are required to keep such texts as part of RIM, I assume it’s the same for the Commission?
Every Dutch person just had a dejavu. Last time was Mark Rutte, but that at least had a veneer of credibility due to him clinging to his Nokia.
>A text message barely takes any room on a modern phone. Like, you would need to get hundreds of thousands of text messages for it to actually make a difference
Not to defend her or anything but I’m as unimportant as I come and I get monthly 10 to 20 text messages, which is barely anything and my phone of 3 years has 200 MB storage used in just text messages. The President of the European Commission easily gets 100x that much or more and over time that could fill up a phone pretty well.
But more importantly, that’s not the main reason and it’s been said multiple times even in this article that it’s a good practice for a high level politican to delete their text messages for security reasons.
Like, who wouldn’t do that at least once a week?
There are plenty of things to criticize her for, but deleting text messages? Seriously?
Everything should be traceable and recoverable, especially of these dignitaries that want to have everything us plebs do be traceable and recoverable.
If the excuse doesn’t fly for regular people, why should it for them?
And seriously, you people actually spent time deleting stuff? Good for you I guess.
Ahhh, the Rutte defense
I had to delete a lot of emails, pictures, videos….
My gmail account is from 2005. Incredible how much junk you get over the years. I chosed a gmail because it was free. Flat out refuse to pay now for more storage just to keep spam mail.
