Example,

You fat finger a note.

By accident doxx your license plate or any other identifiers.

You have been completely doxxed, and want to start fresh without your previous data lying around.

You're a dissident posting about a regime & want your notes to expire in effect getting the message out but blackholing the ability to trace a note back to IP addressing.

Prob many more reasons to give users full control of their data.

I agree its an important part of privacy and control over your own content, however in regard to censorship resistance this ability to withdraw your content can prevent a chilling effect. On the other hand, any promise to delete content can never be a guarantee since once its been transmitted to a relay it will have been rebroadcast to untold places and any perceived promise to delete may give a false and dangerous confidence to the dissident

I agree, this is why it should be the standard.

I wonder how this could be achieved.

If not, oh well!

Once a secret is revealed, whether intentionally or not, it can never be concealed again without the use of force.

Adding some abilities to cover your trails never hurt!

I believe ephemeral keys or zero knowledge proofs may help with deleting data but it presumes every client will store only the encrypted version and consults the trusted oracle to decrypt the message.
