thanks for information bro.

Taking a lot longer than 10 minutes. They must have a boat-load of data on me. Or many others are downloading right now.

Same. Been more than half an hour now.
Soooo curious. Although I imagine a huge pile of just boring stuff.. :D

The folks at Facebook need to be criminally charged.

I agree. When I wrote the article, I didn't expect to get even angrier. I just wrote another op-ed about why Facebook must go. https://steemit.com/facebook/@jakeofthefoliage/why-it-s-time-for-facebook-to-die

I deleted fakebook 2 years ago and have never looked back...

If you would have read the article than you would know that you didn't delete anything :)

I read the article, i didnt just deactivate my facebook, i followed steps to delete, hence i canot log into to check the settings and download my secret file, sure they probly have my old account data somewhere, but it doesn't show up through any settings :)

That's what I meant, now they have access to your data but you don't, still updating your profile with new data they gather from you:)

It's not cool...but, their Orwellian cartel Will fall in time as they all do....in the mean time out of sight and out of mind is good enough for me

That's the spirit:)

Walls have ears

As do our pockets and desktops ;)

Yes yes haha :) but the bright side is, steemit is here, facebook failed

Really great information nice post thanks for sharing sir.@antimedia

Glad you liked it. I also wrote this op-ed, which states my case more bluntly lol https://steemit.com/facebook/@jakeofthefoliage/why-it-s-time-for-facebook-to-die

Enough of these stories should get people to migrate to Steemit. I am going to check my file tomorrow when I get home. Facebook already knows when that is as I always get a message about the days weather as soon as I log in at home

Downloading now. I login to flakebook a couple of times a year. It will be interesting to see what information has been collected about me from other sources and stored there.

Thank you..Took a while but i got it. Its frightening what they have done with facebook etc.....

Thanks for sharing this. I am going to give it a try

Great post, very helpful to all. Thank you for sharing.

Yikes, this is kinda scary... Interesting read, alot to learn for your content, keep up the good work mate

Cheers

@santaynik have a read of this

WOW! Followed and upvoted!

Marking this for later.

Just requested a copy of my info. I am REALLY curious what they will send me. Thank you for this hint.

When Facebook first rolled out and you had to have a .edu address to signup I had a Facebook account. I quickly realized that I don't really want all my business out there and stopped using it years and years ago.

Smart. The reality is I think this zip file is just the tip of the iceberg. They won't disclose that they're using webcams and phones to hot mic us for decades when a court forces them to.

Author's note: here's what I really think. No need to hold back. It's time for Facebook to bleed out. Here's why https://steemit.com/facebook/@jakeofthefoliage/why-it-s-time-for-facebook-to-die

Please visit my blog,Thank you!!!

Where in that download is anything about other websites I visit? I only saw information from facebook. It was kind of interesting to see when I unfriended people. I didn't see anything privacy violating. I didnt even see any record of the sites like discuss where you log on with your Facebook.

I do not know if folks here know of "Q" or the QAnnon posts,this supposed White House insider (many speculate as Military Intelligence) has just posted this message on the very subject (pardon the copy and paste, just thught it would fit):

I confess. I was an #IBOR resister. It didn't make sense to me since free speech is already guaranteed in our constitution.

But, thinking logically, the one thing that would scare the data-mining cabal the most is an articulated right to privacy when using the internet.

No more data mining for ads. No more algorithms screwing up how we communicate with others on Facebook. No more capturing my favorite soda to sell to a competitor who might want to make me buy something else.

Also, and really important to me, is the right to be forgotten. It's already been adjudicated in Britain. Here's a bit of the detail:

https://www.theguardian. com/technology/2013/apr/04/britain-opt-out-right-to-be-forgotten-law

We should have a right to disappear.

So if this continues to be a thing, think of it way beyond being censored for free speech. Think of it in terms of privacy, too. No more selling personal information. No more dedicated IPs to track your every move. No more email apps that pre-select your possible replies, because no more email being mined.

Mail could be configured with the same privacy rights as US mail, for example.

Last I'll post on this one. But if it goes forward, please consider expanding the scope.

Also keep in mind that there's more than the WH petition site to make your ideas known. Most of us have senators and congressmen to represent us in Washington, D.C. Maybe talk to a real person?

I noticed a few times that my activity on the internet is being monitorized by Facebook. If I were to search for a vacation, a few minutes later on facebook I would receive an ad with that destination. Once I was chatting with my boyfriend in FB messenger about the new phone I got. Within minutes he received an ad about that phone. Isn't that a coincidence! More scarier than facebook watching us is people not aknowledging this and take action. I tried to talk with my colleagues and friends about this and they just shrug, saying that they have nothing to hide.

Nice post
