I don't think this is a result of "pestering" FB, you can dump your entire profile any time you want. As far as being concerned about what they're keeping, there's an easy solution ... don't upload the things you don't want the world to know about. I don't think a FB account is a right, and I find it hard to sympathize with those that don't protect their own privacy (perhaps with the exception of kids who haven't gained that skill yet).

Facebook's "Like" buttons track you across the internet, even if you don't have an account. There's no way to opt-out of that, and there's no way to download or see that tracking data. If you don't have an account, other people can still tag you in photos and you can't opt-out (opting out requires having an account). The profile dump also doesn't tell you which "deleted" messages FB still has on the server because the other person hasn't deleted them. That dump is not even close to complete.

  I have any of Facebook's servers I know of blocked in my hosts file for years now to avoid being tracked without my consent. Probably this will make my the number one suspect for the next highschool shooting in my area.
