They need the data to train theur AI. They will not delete. They may glag that the account is now deleted and add this to the data fed to the AI.
It should be 30 days
And if you attempt to sign back in, or open anything that auto signs you in, it will cancel the 30 day countdown to delete and restore your account.
“Your” content? I seem to remember that everything you post is their (meta’s) content.
Why would they delete their own content?
I’m going with … never.
Yup, them “shadow profiles” will become sentient one day
Fuck! Thanks. Anyway my…ummm…friend can have his meta footprint deleted?
If your friend is an EU citizen, they might have some luck with a GDPR request to delete all their data.
They also might not. Meta technically would have to comply, but there is no real way to know if they did.
Unless someone feels like breaking into a datacenter (and likely several cold backup facilities) and mechanically wiping data, that shit is there forever. Facebook deletes nothing.
“Never Delete Anything” is Standard at every place I’ve worked. What happens is that anything that is requested to be deleted is simply marked as “Deleted” in the database.
Not to discredit or counterpoint what you’re saying… But in some jurisdictions, that’s illegal. As an example, California RTA/RTF laws make it a requirement that some data should be deleted unless there’s a different legal standard requiring the data be kept. Enforcement? Who knows?
To add, not deleted stuff is what my favorite lawyers call “discoverable”. Not sure how many lawyers Meta has but I’m betting at least one of them is reminding them deleting stuff is a good thing.
Same response as the EU but for California.
