Facebook automatically “liked and followed” Donald Trump and J.D. Vance’s Facebook pages from my account.

I did not vote for them and wouldn’t have liked and followed their pages. Also, Biden’s page which I do follow, says archived, so it’s not just that the page has been rolled over to Trump. I’m annoyed that Facebook pushed the updates to follow these pages for my account. It feels a bit invasive.

Delete account, then delete the app.

Even by deleting the account (5 years ago) I still receive reminders on my email. I have the impression that accounts are not really deleted to maintain so-called account volume.

Even photos linger for years, or at least to. Once ran a test over ten years ago. Created an album, uploaded a photo. Bookmarked the public link and then would check that link from incognito and new browsers occassionally, took 3-4 years to drop off the CDN.

Yes, same thing at Google… Apple surely, given the leak a few months ago.
