A few years ago when I decided to delete my Facebook account, Facebook implimented the ability to delete data from your account, but only through the mobile app. They did it when people started getting attacked for things they said years ago. You could target specific time frames, and delete posts and data from that time period. You couldnt do mass deletion beyond about 100 posts. But I took this as an opportunity to delete ALL my data. It took a month. Doing a little bit each day. I signed up in 2007 so there was alot. But that is just how determined I was to make sure that when I deleted the account they didnt hold onto the metadata. When I finally deleted the account, it was an empty shell. If I would have had a Facebook effigy at the time, I would have burned it in celebration. Instead, I made coffee and started learning how to self host things.

Yeah, sex is great but have you ever flipped the power switch on an original IBM PC
