When you ask Facebook for your archive it's already pure HTML. All you need to do is to censor it somewhat (if appropriate, e.g. remove private messages) and host it somewhere with access control.
You also need to remove the Facebook tracking pixels they have embedded in it.

I've checked my own archive and they haven't embedded any tracking pixels. Don't spread nonsense.

Well I checked mine and it hits fbcdn.net so I guess it’s you trying to cover it up for some reason. Brand new account too, not suspicious at all.
It's certainly possible that one of the biggest arms of surveillance culture can AB test people on what they do with their exported FB profile.

Have you not heard of AB testing? It's certainly possible that one of the biggest arms of surveillance culture can AB test people on what they do with their exported FB profile.
Wouldn't it be better to import the data into an open social network like Mastodon? What would be great is a tool that continuously does this (i.e. a one-way sync). This could help people convert away from FB.
Mastodon is just twitter. I'm on it... unless I'm missing something. It doesn't completely replace it at all and missing a lot of functionalities that FB have. The ones being, chat room, event invitation/planing, birthday reminder, photo albums, group, etc...
If you wind up trying it, please provide some feedback.

Honest feedback: get rid of the spinning globe GIF, it reminds me of Geocities in the 90s.

If your target is small businesses and third sector orgs, look at how the likes of NationBuilder do it.
Notice how they don’t talk about blockchain or decentralization or anything like that - people in that sector are non techie and their first priority is that it works.
