  So now you've given that extension full access to your Facebook account. And if you didn't uninstall it after using it, it's still able to see everything you do on Facebook. How is this any different from the Cambridge Analytica mess people were upset about in the first place?

  It doesn't cover untagging, from I gather. Also, you can run it at 16x speed. It "deleted" ~15 years of history for me in less than an hour. And yes, it does miss a few things.

    > It doesn't cover untagging Using the "Hide" button instead of the "Delete" button I think works on untagging.

      It hides it from _your_ timeline, but the backlink to your profile still remains. You have to actually untag it.

      No, and I'm pretty sure the parent commenter doesn't either. It's why I put "deleted" in double quotes, as the above comment did.
