You can already download your data if your FB account is banned.
I can still try to log in today and get access to my data as a download, but can do nothing else. Was perma banned a couple of years ago when I decided to return to FB and re-friended all my friends from before in the course of a few hours, and promptly got banned. For bot like behaviour, I assume, I never found out the cause!
The data itself is innocuous posts about what I’m eating and drinking, nothing political or otherwise objectionable in any way...
Amusingly, their recruiters have also approached me a few times after that via email and LinkedIn, they must not check if a prospect is banned.
- Udik 6y agoI have no idea, but the article mentions people distressed because they have lost their pictures. ("if you should find your account disabled [...] you won’t be able to get your photos back"). Now in the EU there is the GDPR that forces anyone who has your personal data to provide it on request- but I'm not sure it would prevent FB from deleting it right after the ban.
