Get your Data! Make an Access Request at Facebook!

Posted on September 26, 2011 by pogowasright.org

I would love to be a fly on the wall at Facebook if even 1/10 of their users all submitted such requests in the same time period:

According to European data protection law every individual has the right to get a copy of all personal data a company holds about him (right to access). This law is applicable to facebook too, since every European user has a contract with “Facebook Ireland Limited”, based in Dublin, Ireland.

Facebook has a well hidden page, where you can send them an access request.

Generally all nonusers have the same right to access data that Facebook might hold about them.
