When you ask Facebook for your archive it's already pure HTML. All you need to do is to censor it somewhat (if appropriate, e.g. remove private messages) and host it somewhere with access control.
- gaius 8y agoYou also need to remove the Facebook tracking pixels they have embedded in it.
- _underflow_ 8y agoFor a moment I was briefly surprised, but then I remembered the company in question. No way that was accidental.
- yqh 8y agoI've checked my own archive and they haven't embedded any tracking pixels. Don't spread nonsense.
- gaius 8y agoWell I checked mine and it hits fbcdn.net so I guess it’s you trying to cover it up for some reason. Brand new account too, not suspicious at all.
- crankylinuxuser 8y agoHave you not heard of AB testing? It's certainly possible that one of the biggest arms of surveillance culture can AB test people on what they do with their exported FB profile.

- nindalf 8y ago> for some reason Do share what exactly it was before accusing people of covering it up.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoDisregarding the strange rant for a moment, is it purely for tracking purposes or does it just use their CDN for CSS, images etc? (Wouldn't be surprised at all if it was tracking, this is Facebook after all, but there are plenty of perfectly legitimate reasons to use a a CDN)
- Jaruzel 8y agoThere's a bunch of absolute paths in the generated HTML that link to inline icons and other chaff. As I'm never actually logged into FB, they show up as broken images when you view your offline archive.
- polskibus 8y agoThat must be just a tiny bit of the entire data set they have about you. Tracking from all pages containing like button, all characters entered into chat, including those typed but deleted or not sent otherwise. I wonder how does it match against GDPR request.
- unicornporn 8y agoQuite a bit. You'd have to do a subject access request to get closer to the truth.
