I know. It was hard. But if we won't even take a stand with these censorious assholes, and we let them continue spying on and censoring us, then where exactly will we armchair warriors take a stand?
So far, in 5 days, I've persuaded 13 of my friends to create a Telegram account and they all love it.
Take the plunge.
Fuck Zuck. Fuck Facebook. Take a stand for free speech. Don't let the CIA/FBI/NSA/DOJ/IRS watch your life.
If you think deleting them off of FB actually deletes your dtaa/images off FB servers...I got some bad news. That data is theirs forever. Period. Just being honest
What people should be worried about more and they’re not is your browsing data being gather by search engines... they know more about you than you think and it’s impossible to delete that data... so, use ad blockers and VPN’s
Possibly so, but deleting everything prior to deleting the account makes it more difficult for people to find “that photo” and also, deleting that data states that you do not wish to continue to disclose what was once posted. I think they may be sued if a photo is brought back up and used to defame you especially if you deleted that specific photo.... also, I think that deleting your data will eventually scrub on the remaining servers essentially truly deleting your data
It will not delete your data. Facebook keeps shadow profiles even on people who have never used their service. They still know who you are, and where you visit, even if you have never opened an account ... unless you're aggressive and thorough about blocking them, which is esp. difficult if you use a smartphone.
They do not delete former account data, ever. But if it makes you feel better it's perfectly okay.
There is a loophole, though ... the staler the data over time, the less useful it can be for predictive manipulation.
And the more you personally evolve as a person -- in terms of psyche, spirit or strength -- after dumping GAFAM, the more stale the data is. If you stay the same, like many people do, they still know you too well. Become a new and reinvigorated person, and it will be useless.
