Cambridge Analytica : Here's How To Find Out Everything Facebook Knows About You by NaijaTechGuy(m): 1:39am On Apr 06, 2018 |
I know you've been wondering whether to join Elon Musk and Brian Acton in the #deletefacebook squad or keep using Facebook, either ways I think you should have a look at the data Facebook has about you first. I'll be honest quitting Facebook isn’t that easy! Especially, when you have different reasons to stick to the blue network - groups, old friends, and more.There's one easy method to get hold of the data Facebook has stored over the years you been on the platform. So, let’s have a look at what the company knows about you. Here’s what you need to do to download all the data Facebook has stored Step 1. First of all, sign-in to your Facebook account from your desktop or activate desktop view on your mobile browser and then go to your Facebook Settings page. Step 2. You need to look carefully at the General Section, there you need to click on “Download a copy of your Facebook data” Step 3. Now you will be redirected to another web page, where you need to click on the “Download Archive” button. Step 4. You will be asked to enter your Facebook password and the download will start automatically. Or the download link will be sent to your email. Once you got the Facebook data, you need to open the ZIP file and then run the HTML file called index. This will open up in your web browser where you can view all your Facebook data. Well, the Facebook data file contains your profile information, messages, videos, photos, timeline posts, friends list and much more. Not only these, it also shows your Facebook sessions, connected apps, advertisement topics that are related to you. Nevertheless, I am definitely not quitting Facebook. 36 Likes 9 Shares |

The fact that there's a smart dude behind the giant company is enough proof that Facebook have come to stay. Bill faced similar problem during the browser war and others, and was even dragged to court because of his anti-competitiveness. My siggy though 3 Likes |

The topic is needless. Perhaps, wrong. Facebook only knows what you fill out or upload on its website. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

Facebook and Google keep a log of all your activities on their platform (location, search history, pictures and more) which you can always download. I think the main problem is the fact that these information are not as secure as people thought they were. Facebook has turned its over 1 billion users to commercial entities. They just feed you with tons of adverts everuday and make you feel good by seeing your virtual 'likes' and love emojis. 1 Like |

ifyalways:It has never been, particularly with Google. My newest Google map update pops up, asking me to review a location I just left. Interestingly, my location is off. Worst still is Google's dedicated website which gives you a comprehensive report of every site you have visited. No one is safe with Android. 6 Likes |

Nice info. Nevertheless, minimizing the info you upload online is key. |

Informative. However, Facebook can only have what you give them. Even if Facebook has information about you, what is so special about it. After all, you opted in to use their free app on your own free will. The way some people make it look as if they have all their life history on Facebook that is so sacred they don't want others to know baffles me. I can only fault Mark for giving out those information, it's a mistake on his part which he's been facing the penalty. But the way people are trying to pull him down is sad. If you don't want any of your information on the internet, keep off Facebook and other social media. Chikena. 4 Likes 1 Share |
