1) Clearly this mitigates future risk. Which is obvious. 2) Yes it is conjecture. 3) Yes it is conjecture. 4) I'm basing it on what Facebook has told us so far. They are still investigating. But then I said that in the thread. 5) Saying it's bad because it's also bad elsewhere doesn't negate a single thing. Thanks for the feedback.

1) no, not effectively. The data still exists, and forms the kernel to link to other systems, ie Instagram, whatsapp and what ever has any sort of Facebook integration. if you keep any facebook affiliated service active, facebook will still maintain a profile on you. The only way to stop is to find all your facebook apps, and IDs give formal notice for stopping use, and then issue a request to stop processing your data. They can still hold on to some nuggets of info for "anti-fraud" purposes, for example if you've paid for anything, or used marketplace. Then you need to change browsers(possibly wipe your computer), change phone, do not import any previous data and start again. once you've done that, you need to find your newly created unique ID, one for advertising and such and ask to stop processing on that too. Bonus points for using pihole or similar to block facebook owned domains. so no, its not _obvious_ 2 & 3) offering wild conjecture undermines your actual work. its base punditry, you provide a _valuable_ service, but pandering to hyperbole takes away from this. If you have an inside source, then that changes things, I'll sit up and listen. 4) without a source or inside insight, its just noise, again, you provide a _critical_ service, and I want you to continue, but it _must_ be based on fact or credible sources. I moan be cause I care, honest. 5) valid point, logical fallacy on my part.
