You would think then, that Facebook would make it easier to actually go and delete old data, rather than forcing the most motivated people to go through hoops such as browser plugins and other scripts. If it doesn't matter to the business, then just give people the option to set a sunset period and have the system do it for them.

With all the obvious, public screw-ups, I took the nuclear option and deleted my account.
