The author needs to contact his country's DPA and they will be the ones to drop the hammer on Facebook.
Facebook might not listen to an end user, but European governmental authorities have the power to force them to.
It's the only logical next step in my opinion.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> What exactly are they afraid of? Exposing the level of detail in the data accumulated. This starts at "opened the messenger app at this location on this date&time" and goes to "visited this Facebook-unrelated website on these times". Having to provide all of this data exposes the detailed profile they're getting on people.
They are only getting what you are giving to them. If you decide to browse the web without uBlock Origin or if you decide to use Android, you know what you're being exposed to.
Time to step out of the bubble of tech-savvy people and talk to everyday users. It's unrealistic to assume everybody understands technical consequences, and it's unreasonable to require everybody to do so. That's why there is regulation. This applies to all fields, including medicine, food, and IT.
It's a very interesting web page. But it would be better told without all the sarcasm and invective. I understand the author's need to vent his spleen, but he should create a second, more black-and-white version that comes off as more credible and is less easily dismissed.
You had me up until the legalese email, after which the correct response is to sue. You lost me with the belligerent reply ranting about what Mark said in the Washington Post. It seems, at that point, that you're more interested in grandstanding than making a defensible case.
What you are asking for does not seem unreasonable, quite the opposite. What exactly are they afraid of?
Well for a start it would involve not being able to keep denying shadow profiles exist, and the joining up of some not especially well understood programmes. Like being able to connect up all those facebook bugs and third party logins to get large parts of your off Facebook activity. Then maybe exposing some of the third party quizzes, VPN's, and privacy apps that have poured more into the data vats. Possibly exposin…
Who else could wade through the sea of garbage you people produce, retrieve valuable truths and even interpret their meaning for later generations?
‘you people’ is an invective that apparently excludes yourself from the class you refer to. You don’t visit web pages?
Under the GDPR, each country has a Data Protection Authority set up in order to enforce and supervise these rules. The author needs to contact his country's DPA and they will be the ones to drop the hammer on Facebook.

Facebook in EU is registered in Ireland.
Ireland is making a mockery of GDPR, slow walking investigations while paying lip service to GDPR.
Ireland is a leech. They've figured out that they can attract global companies through very lenient tax auditing and (now) GDPR enforcement. A little tax is better than none. As such they are undermining the rest of EU when it comes to actions against companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft.
