I’ve lost access to an old Facebook account of mine a few months ago when I forgot to migrate Facebook’s 2FA key to my new phone, would there be any harm in just leaving it as it is and just delete the other Meta accounts that I currently can access?
Facebook wouldn’t approve any id photo I send them cause the camera on their website always takes blurry photos.
Facebook doesn’t delete shit anyway, don’t bother unless you have some public posts on that account, which you don’t want others to see
AFAIK California and EU law compels them to actually delete it if you explicitly ask them to.
Oh my sweet summer child
I don’t know about the California law but GDPR has actual consequences, fines of 20 Million Euros OR 4% of the total global turnover of the previous financial year, whichever is higher.
Yeah. Do not fuck with the EU. Their fines aren’t like American ones where you see companies just eat fines as the cost of doing business.
Don’t forget making USB-C the universal connection and, coming in the next few years, a law requiring user replaceable batteries in mobile devices. Stuff like this shows how much of a positive thing the EU is and amplifies my anger at Brexit on a logarithmic scale every time I read news like this and know that the UK government is going to fuck us all over good and proper.
I had a friend try something similar with Hello Fresh; he got a free sample from another friend but wanted to remove his data afterwards. It took a lot of deep website navigating and a phone call, and even then it was going to take “up to 60 business days” or assume BS to actually remove his data. They make it difficult to remove on purpose while technically being able to say they will.
The 60 days is part of such laws, but most of the time it takes about two weeks. Talking from experience.
I’ve wasted too much of my time already, its probably not worth it given I haven’t made any problematic posts ln there.
There’s no point, they will not delete your data even if you delete your account
