Jake, Do you have or know of a list of the steps necessary to shut down FB properly and de-fang their intrusions / stealing of your data?
FB keeps all your data. You can be officially "quit" of FB, come back months later, and everything is still there.
FB does offer an interface for deleting posts, likes, etc. Deleting even a weeks worth of stuff would be a pain that few are willing to undertake.
However, some enterprising individual could likely write a script that could march through all the material and interact with the interface and eventually delete all of it. It wouldn't totally eliminate the data, it would still be on backups, but it would sure make it a PITA to do so. No nobodies outside FB would be able to go snooping for stuff. Since it would execute from your desktop and interact with your browser, I believe it would be very difficult for them to block. It would simply look like a very quick, determined user clicking.
I wrote a similar app years ago, one that clicked on every link in a webpage and iterated down several layers in each of those, so it is possible.
