No. You have to understand that you're writing to the blockchain. And the blockchain is immutable.
It doesn't show up here. Interesting. It's like the wiki talk talk page. Hey - where did it go?
So, it's even worse in terms of... oh, "2 replies"... 'if you don't want it on the internet' and 'the internet is forever'? Immutable is that, and more?
Sure, it's possible. Encrypt the message content, memo manages the key. Ask memo to the key and message is deleted and a deleted flag set.
Ask memo to delete the key rather. Revokable messages not cross platform, but it would be opt-in and if they don't do it someone else will.

Adding extra choice is not a problem. if people don't want it they simply won't use it. If they do want it, they'll clog up memo with encrypted content regardless
Encrypted content is *still* on the blockchain. If the algorithm is cracked one day, that data can be seen by the rest of the world.
How is that better than having it readable by everyone now?
Blockchain storage and forcing everyone to post in the clear are different problems. As with facebook, as memo gets easier to use, people will forget what they are doing
Do all data really have to be stored forever or could some tag for when, as in blocks from when created, it's ok to remove the data be set?
Node's can prune transactions, but nodes that don't prune at all will have ALL the data still. And there will always be nodes that do that.
How is this a good thing? It helps the data miner, not the user.
All you can do is not showing up the "deleted" content on the UI side.
I'm used to this with steemit. That's why I like Yours.org. If you'd like to be able to delete your posts, Yours.org allows for that.
What does immutability matter, if the internet is down?
The internet looks to be up.
