I imagine that doing this would have a downside: if they think you are outside the EU, they are not obligated to fully delete your data - it would live forever as soft-deleted, which may not be what you want if your intention is to protest against tracking.
- briandear 8y agoHow can you prove a hard delete. And you can VPN within the EU..
- Tobani 8y agoThe purpose of the suggested VPN was to send your traffic to FB from outside the EU. That would then make it so FB didn't prompt you with new EU TOS, so you could click through (since you wouldn't be governed by GDPR). But the catch is that the traffic outside the EU wouldn't be governed by GDPR there is also no recourse if they don't hard delete( of course it would be hard to verfiy if they did like you pointed out).
