What kind of control over the data on Facebook's servers do you need? If they rsync some of your photos from one place to another in their data centers do they need to drop you a note?
Keep in mind that you can always export all the data on your Facebook profile as a .zip file on demand. It's your data at the end of the day.
- jeffdavis 16y agoHonest question: does that really include all of your data? All the messages, comments, friends, any friend ID or contact info (email addresses, IM names, phone numbers, addresses, etc.)? In other words, is it enough data that you can just export and jump ship to another social network without much interruption (assuming some reasonable transformation effort for the data)?
- loup-vaillant 16y agoI need to be able to guarantee the privacy of my data when appropriate (assuming I trust my friends, of course). With Facebook I can't, because (1) they can read everything, and (2) I don't trust them not to. To fix that problem, Facebook needs to become a-centred. But that would be throwing away their busyness model along with their data-centres.
