Question is does Facebook remove it from their data?
- C14L 8y agoWe will see. Here in Europe, its possible to find out after 2018-05-25. My guess is that they will retain as much data on you as they can legally get away with.
- netsharc 8y agoAh... now I'm speculating that this tool is their answer to GPDR's right to delete. "We have a tool, we're compliant!". Insert "Beware of the Leopard" quote here...
- ericrav 8y agoEven if they did keep some part of the data, would they be able to use it for anything without inevitably getting caught and facing another scandal?
- loceng 8y agoIt might be difficult to catch depending on the how macro attributions they could make on you, depending on the time scale - say over 20 years, if you cleared the history every year, it might give them insights that might be hard to correlate to earlier history. If there were strong whistle-blower laws and pre-set rewards however, then might get a whistle-blower who could earn themselves say $1B+ (based on size/revenues of Facebook) for outing the deceit - which then Facebook would be fined for.
- Rjevski 8y agoIs a scandal a huge issue? Despite the recent #DeleteFacebook and everything, Facebook wasn't really impacted all that much and is still making tons of profit even without the 1% of users who did delete it. A future hypothetical scandal where another 1% deletes it would be worth it considering all the data and revenue they made from abusing people's data before the scandal.
- mtberatwork 8y agoDoubtful they will destroy data. Instead, it will most likely be a flag that's flipped to indicate "deleted" status.
