- avoidit 9y agoUp next: "How I wrote an article that explains how to do something, which actually doesn't do anything, and helps in absolutely no way other than make people feel better they did something rather than nothing"
- coldtea 9y agoUp next: how I wrote a comment hating and contributing nothing to the discussion. Well, it does something: it erases your public comments on FB, and even more so, shows in a few steps how a programmer can go about doing so. Not everything has to be about what FB knows.
- cornholio 9y agoAgree. Facebook might still have them in some log or neural thinggy about you, but it will protect you from direct profiling like the Cambridge Analitica debacle. If it would turn out that deleting the activity still allows Facebook to keep them and sell them to 3rd parties, it would be a company-ending event, so there is at least self-preservation.
- laythea 9y agoWhy do you presume that once you come off facebook, your data is not used? That is not true, the data gets used and pimped around to the highest bidder. What is true, is that as time passes that data has less value (assuming you actually stopped pumping in the data in fb).
