I have a very old Facebook account i haven’t touched for no less than 10+ years. I had decided to just let it decay under the reasoning that old data is worse than useless to them, but now in light of Facebook announcing they’ll take it all to train for LLMs if you don’t opt out, i am unsure if to continue leaving that account to rot, or if to recover it, opt out, then doing the delete procedure. What would you say is the best choice?
I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve seen other people say that when they go back to an old Facebook account, Facebook will require a scan of their ID in order to log in. They can be a real removed about letting people log in to accounts that have been inactive for a long time.
I can confirm. But a couple years back, there were alternatives to that (none of which privacy-friendly) - if you can find the tiny, easy to overlook link “try something else”.
It doesn’t even have to be a long time. Just changing IPs in a way they find suspicious is enough.
Same for Google btw and probably all large US American platforms.
scary.
