Yes. I'm waiting to delete my account until after the 25th because: * There's slightly more of a chance they'll actually delete my data * If they don't, I'll be entitled to be a part of any class-action.

Same, and I'll be encouraging others to do so.

  What timezone are we using for this? Is it midnight Zulu on the 25th, the 26th?

    Why not just wait till the 27th?

    FFS, just delete it on 27

      Sorry, I'm not hip to most of this stuff. I just thought it would be a fun event. Perhaps it's already on the social media calendar, complete with a cat logo?

  Will that be a possibility for people who are not from USA? I had deleted (not deactivated) my account ~4 months ago and they were supposed to delete everything after 14 days but I have a feeling they didn't.

    What do you mean not from USA? The legislation going into action May 25 is GDPR which applies to those in EU

      Yeah, this comment thread is strange. Most eu Nations don't have anything like a class action suit...

        This is confusing me as well about this subthread.

> If they don't, I'll be entitled to be a part of any class-action. I am absolutely shocked to discover that Facebook doesn't have a class action waiver in their terms.

  Would it be enforceable?

    Good question. Yahoo/Verizon put one in, and Google did too last week. EDIT to say: Well, I came across Google's last week. I don't really know when they put it in.

I recently received an email with subject "Alan, please accept our updated Terms by May 25 to continue using Facebook". Currently I haven't done anything in response to it. I don't want my account but it's not clear what happens should I not accept. Does my account get deleted, or does it just get put in purgatory? Should I login and just delete after the 25th?
