Can you send Meta a GDPR request to find out everything they have on you? Curious if anyone has done this and gotten a result.

Facebook claims that the data they have on people cannot be understood by the average person, and because the GDPR requirements state that data needs to be given in an easily understood format, giving this data would violate the law. So they refuse to give it.

This was after months of simply ignoring the requests.

Seriously.

And the GDPR archive is... funny. They're so hellbent on never ever letting anyone export their social graph in a usable format. So, if you request your friend list through the GDPR export tool, what do you think you get?

Names of your friends and timestamps of when you added them. That's all. This is just so ridiculously useless for anything but compliance.

Besides that, there are no user/group/post/whatever IDs anywhere. Everyone and everything is referred to by names and names only. It's hilarious.

That's what I did when I deactivated fb: names and contact information straight onto sticky notes, stuck to my monitor.
