How to Really Delete Your FaceBook Profile
https://turbofuture.com/internet/Obsolete-Facebook-Profile-Charade
Okay. So here is the way to finally get yourself out of Facebook. Have fun finding this info on their site. It’s not prominently displayed. But you don’t need to look. I explain it all here.
I was actually able to get a new password to log on to my deactivated account. That was mandatory in order to get back in to delete it with their new method. I tried it in March 2011 and now I can’t find my profile. Finally really gone!
So if you can still log in, go to the following URL and carefully follow the instructions on that page.
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account
If you did it all as they request, your account will be in a deactivated state for 14 days and will be permanently deleted after that 14 day period. But ONLY if you abide by all the following...
Remove any reference to your Facebook account from any other website that uses Facebook Connect logins.
Remove any Facebook apps from your iPhone.
Refrain from clicking any "Like" buttons on any sites if they use Facebook.
Now wait 14 days. Three weeks just to be sure because if you check on it before its done, you will have canceled your delete request. The same is true if any other service you use attempts to access your Facebook account within that 14 day period. The deletion process will be canceled and your account will remain activate.
You see? It's still not easy. So what do you think? Is it a deception that Facebook is creating?

This actually works well. The images and videos are very low resolution but viewable. All your messages and posts in an HTML configured form.

How to download the entire archive of your Facebook account
Source: Blog
Author: Christian Zibreg
Date: January 18, 2016
If you’re considering closing your Facebook account and leaving the service, you should store on your computer copies of the photos, videos, status updates, wall posts and other content you’ve published on Facebook thus far. Thankfully, this can be easily done by downloading your entire Facebook data as a ZIP file.
This gives you a permanent copy of a lot of the same information available to you in your Facebook account.
This includes stuff like your Timeline info, posts you have shared, messages, photos and more, as well as data you did not create yourself such as the ads you have clicked on, logged IP addresses and what not.
This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the process of downloading an archive of your Facebook information to a computer, and exploring its contents.
There’s no way to individually select which data you would like to download as part of your Facebook archive, so you’ll have to download the ZIP file in its entirety and explore its contents later.
How to download your Facebook data
Step 1: Log in to Facebook on your computer and access Account Settings: click at the top right of any Facebook page and select Settings.
Step 2: Click General in the lefthand column.
Step 3: Click Download a copy of your Facebook data at the bottom of the General Account Settings page.
Download a copy of your Facebook data
Step 4: You’ll be taken to a new webpage to confirm that you really wish to download your Facebook information.
Download your Facebook information
Click the green Start My Archive button to continue.
Step 5: “It may take a little while for us to gather your photos, wall posts, messages and other information,” reads a prompt that appears.
Request Facebook archive download
To continue, click the blue Start My Archive button.
Step 6: You must now verify your identity by typing your Facebook password in order to help protect the security of your account.
Step 7: A confirmation message pops up, saying the system is gathering your information and will send a message to the email address on file as soon as your archive is ready for download.
Facebook archive requested
Click Okay to dismiss the message.
Step 8: Now check your inbox for a message from Facebook confirming that you requested a copy of your account data. You’ll receive another message containing a download link once it’s ready, which can take up to several hours.
Facebook download requested
Tip: If you’re not receiving emails from Facebook, check your junk folder and ensure that Facebook’s emails are not classed as spam.
Step 9: When you receive another message containing a download link, click it to retrieve an archive of your Facebook data.
Retrieve your Facebook account data
Tip: Should the link redirect to Facebook’s Account Settings page, click Download a copy of your Facebook data again to go directly to the file.
Download Facebook archive
Click the green Download Archive button to continue. You might need to enter your Facebook password to start the download.
Step 10: Go to the Downloads folder on your computer (it’s located inside your account’s home folder) and open the ZIP archive you downloaded to unarchive it.
Unzip your Facebook archive
Because the archive contains private information, you should keep it secure and take precautions when storing or sending it, or uploading it to another service.

For security reasons, this link will only work for a few days after being sent. If it stops working, just create another request to download your Facebook archive.

Why Cloudy is a problem, and distributed encrypted is a must. It is note worthy, I think, that if it is free you will be data raped, if you pay for a service there is some accountability.

Why Tech’s ‘Big 4’ All Faced Antitrust Probes in Europe, But Not in the US
Source: Observer
Author: Sissi Cao
Date: February 15, 2018
In the last five years, the European Union’s antitrust law enforcers have probed all of the “big four” tech companies in the U.S.—Google, Amazon, Apple and Facebook.
Apple is currently under an investigation by the European Commission (EC), the EU’s law enforcement agency, on its planned acquisition of the U.K.-based song recognition company Shazam.
Last year, Germany’s antitrust regulator probed Facebook for having its users sign an agreement to give up control over their personal information on the platform.
That same year, the EC fined Google a record $2.73 billion for manipulating its search engine to show Google Shopping high up in the search results while demoting rival services.
In 2015, Amazon went under an EU probe over a set of licensing contracts with Europe’s e-book publishers that were deemed unfair.
In contrast, these American tech giants rarely have to deal with the EC’s counterparts on their homeland, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Antitrust Division.
Even the hottest antitrust case at the DOJ at the moment, the AT&T-Time Warner merger, is increasingly looking more like a political fight than a business debate.
The antitrust laws in the EU and the U.S. are very similar, said George Hay, a law professor at Cornell University. Both systems tackle issues like exclusive contracts between firms that usually involve fixed price terms and mergers of large competitors, such as AT&T and Time Warner.
However, the two systems differ quite largely regarding one aspect—measuring what makes a bad monopoly.
“The American system is mostly focused on how you achieve a monopoly position and how you keep it,” Hay told Observer. “But it doesn’t punish bad behavior itself.”
“In the U.S., if you become a monopoly legally—for example, getting a patent on a drug—you can charge whatever you want, and you are allowed to make a lot of money,” Hay explained.
The EU system, on the other hand, cares more about whether a large company abuses its dominant position in an industry.
“[In the drug patent example], the EU worries the fact that you might be abusing your dominant position by charging people too much,” Hay said. “They are not questioning how you got your patent or whether the patent is valid, but that you are taking advantage of your patent to dramatically overcharge consumers. That will not be a cause of action in the U.S.”
“In the EU, they lean more toward thinking that dominant firms should have special responsibilities to maintain healthy competition with other dominant firms,” Eleanor Fox, a professor of trade regulation at the New York University School of Law, told Observer. “The U.S. regulators are more reluctant to put burdens of proving monopoly on dominant firms, based on the thinking that dominant firms should have lots of incentives to invest and invent. So, you can have very different outcomes because of these two different orientations.”
Fox suggests that the U.S. approach makes it easy for large companies to eventually hurt consumers.
In the tech industry, for example, it has become a common strategy to offer innovative services for free or at a very low price during a company’s early stage, and then, when a company has grown to a size that’s difficult for new entrants to compete with, it raises prices.
Such price-gouging strategies have been used in by Amazon, YouTube (owned by Google) and Netflix, to name a few.
And, at that point, it’s often too late to stop a monopoly.
“It is a very large topic at play right now,” Fox said.
The FTC’s most recent antitrust probe involving the “big four” tech companies was a case with Google in 2007 on its $3.1 billion acquisition of advertising server company DoubleClick. After eight months of investigation, the FTC decided not to block the acquisition.
In 2013, a group of employees at Adobe, Apple, Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar and Lucasfilm (the last two are subsidiaries of Disney) filed a class action lawsuit against their employers for having a “no cold call” agreement among them to not recruit talent from each other.
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled in 2015 that such an agreement restricted normal competition for skilled workers. Adobe, Apple, Google and Intel settled the case by paying 64,000 class members $415 million in damages, and the other firms paid $20 million
