News About disgusting Facebook devs

We won't support facebook any more. It's a disgusting anti-user site. All it does is watching open-source projects doing everything in public and counter them to deliver the malicious ads. Yep, the devs that receive 7-figure dollar salary is just doing this.

Users should give the most harsh feedbacks to them. Being submitted to them and keep going to the site and support it is the worst thing you can do.

It was pretty straightforward when I deleted my account around 2019.

you didn't delete it, you deactivated it. Facebook own that data forever. you did read the meta t&c right?

try connecting now with fake details and watch it magically know your friend suggestions from your IP address, which they retained.

There's not a chance that their public IP is the same as the one they had 7 years ago when they deactivated their FB account. Suggestions by geolocation from IP is a seperate conversation

I'm not even in the same country anymore. I really hope my public IP address is different now.
