How do you know? Did you see the source code? For all I know they can clear it in user-facing UX only but keep it secretly on servers in international waters or wherever and use it batch-wise to compute stuff about you, including sharing it with 3rd parties you wouldn't want to be ever involved with. Those 3rd parties then can use FB Cayman Islands or a similar branch to get dirty data. Do you think all those intelligence and society-engineering think tanks would be happy losing their main source of data and won't try to find a way to continue doing it?
