If you've had enough of Facebook's negligence and like many others in recent months have closed your account, use this handy website to send them a GDPR request to make sure they delete all your personal data (disclosure, I'm one of the creators): https://opt-out.eu/?company=facebook.com#nav https://opt-out.eu/?company=facebook.com#nav
- gesman 8y agoYou have to be EU resident for that.
- yoaviram 8y agoIt's more complicated then this. The GDPR does not mention residency. According to some interpretations it's enough that you're located in the EU.
- AlphaWeaver 8y agoLook, I hate Facebook as much as the next guy, but this breach was out of their control. Apparently it was a result of browser extensions harvesting the private information.
- czardoz 8y agoI'm curious to see why you think this is Facebook's negligence. There's little they can do to control a user's browser extensions.
- yoaviram 8y agoYou have a point, although we don't know the details of this attack (they haven't even disclosed the name of the extension) so I guess I'm biased against them in light of recent history. My comment was more general than this particular incident.
