First, to my knowledge, there are two alternative ways to recover my account within the Facebook system.
1. Correctly identify some personal information about your Facebook friends, or ask them to provide some information about you. However, I have abandoned my account for years, and clearly I no longer have personal contact with most of them.
2. Provide your National-ID document to Facebook. Obviously, I'm not comfortable with it, but I assume my identity is already public information on Facebook so I may have to do it. Unfortunately, the bigger problem is that, personally, I'm in the middle of some tricky paperwork problem with the government bureaucracy, just like my Facebook account. I may need to go to the court to sort it out, but currently I don't have time to bother.
"Right to be forgotten" and GDPR seems to be a powerful tool to solve these kind of problems,
but I'm not a EU citizen and I don't know much about its regulations, but I also want to know about it. Does anyone know something about it? Assuming I'm a EU citizen, how exactly, can I submit a request of information removal? If it's similar to DMCA takedowns, perhaps it can be used? Or it need a rigorous legal proof of identity like (2)? For non-EU citizens, is there a similar outlet to solve these kinds of problems?
