Kindles delete content automatically as a matter of routine. Eg, if you subscribe to a newspaper on the Kindle, every issue more than a certain number of days old is automatically deleted.

For me it's a push vs pull. I have to pull the content to my library the Kindle servers shouldn't have direct access to my library without my permission. In other words it's always my actions that are manipulating my personal data unless I've granted them permission to perform a specific operation. I would be OK if they could push data to a staging directory on the Kindle and I could move it from their to my library but the server is restricted to just that staging directory.
Scheduled deletion of expired content is being performed locally not by the mother ship accessing my library.
