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 don’t trust Meta to actually delete all copies of my data if I “delete” my accounts, but I will lose access to any privacy controls if I do it.
So, I have been deleting my posts, comments, photos, etc… stripping the account down to a mostly empty shell. Sometimes you can find browser scripts to help automate this.
I might add some junk data to the account later.
