How to Download All of Your Facebook Data in Just a Few Minutes
With shocking revelation
after shocking revelation coming out about huge Facebook data breaches and the
evil people who are getting their hands on your Facebook data it could be a
good idea to find out exactly what Facebook knows about you.
Fortunately, Facebook
has a feature that gives you the ability
to revisit those times and make a detailed summary of your entire Facebook
existence. Yes, it might freak you out, and you may just come across something
you completely forgot about or don’t want anybody to know.
It isn’t all about
shadow agencies creating psychological profiles either. How about discovering
all the friends you’ve deleted over the years? Or learning about those
