How does this work, if I travel to Germany and use WhatsApp is Facebook compelled to delete all the shared data they have on me?

  Likely they'll do it based on the phone number prefix +49

        Get one on Twilio, set it up so you get the verification code, finished. Right?

  I guess that's Facebook's problem now. WhatsApp uses phone numbers as logins though, doesn't it? Shouldn't be too hard to map providers to different countries.

  I heared facebook installs a big "Delete my data" button made of granit on a main square in every german city. You have to double click it. With your head.

  I would think it would be either by German carriers or else country code of the phone.
