[return to "Facebook collecting people's data even when accounts are deactivated"]

It's worse than that. FB maintains "phantom accounts" for everybody whether you have a FB account or not.

I've never had a FB account, but some years ago I got an email from FB listing a number of my friends and family and saying, "All these people have FB accounts. Wouldn't you like to join FB?"

The email included a reply option labeled "don't contact me again," which I chose and then replied. But a few months later I got the same invitation.

Needless to say, I found that to be deeply disturbing, and it confirmed my determination to never subscribe to FB. Later I learned about the phantom accounts. I'm sure FB maintains a dossier on me to this day.

I wonder if one could successfully apply for a restraining order against Facebook's messaging, on the theory that it's harassment.

Doable. But need $. It is restraining order not a lawsuit. It is harrassment basically if they send into your email inbox unwarranted. Same goes with robot calls, and it is hard to stop them not even with congress passing laws to deal with them. At this stage, we just have to ignore it. You might want to opt for text-based emails which wont trigger any html/css feedback to FB knowing you read it (maybe tutanota mail?)

Too lazy to internet search, can you apply a restraining order to an organization?
