Interestingly, Facebook owns your data. I believe if they wanted to, they could close the company tomorrow and put a facebook.tar.xz of everything they collected on archive.org or somewhere else.

I wonder if archive.org could actually store that much data.. and how long it would take to create a tar.xz of it.

What file systems would support a tar that big?

>>mtrn+(OP)
If they did that with any European data, they would soon face criminal charges.

(Except if a European office of Facebook did it, then the nationality doesn't matter.)

No. You own your data stored at Facebook. Facebook just have license to use "as they wish" while respecting your privacy settings (i.e. uploading facebook.tax.xz is definitely not according to privacy settings of most people).

At least that written and TOS or so.
