It can't delete an automatic or manual backup I've made of all/some of my email.
I think the argument is that you have a way to export and retain emails while there is nothing you can do with messages on FB other than screenshot.
- emodendroket 9y agoIf the argument is that I can go out of my way to back something up outside of the regular framework of the software, I could do the same by saving messages from Facebook.
- dx034 9y agoEmail backups have been standard for decades. There are solution that follow standards and have been tested in audits. Taking screenshots of Facebook messages is very different from that.
- emodendroket 9y agoYou could either save the HTML or pretty easily use some JavaScript to extract the message contents to plain text.

- dx034 9y agoBut convincing courts and auditors that this is the original version of that time will be harder with a self-written script than with email backups.
- emodendroket 9y agoI suppose that's true, but isn't there some precedent for dealing with Web pages? This can't be the first time this has come up.
