#2What you are asking for does not seem unreasonable, quite the opposite. What exactly are they afraid of?

#3It is well and truly time for a digital uprising against these feudal lords.

#4Who else could wade through the sea of garbage you people produce, retrieve valuable truths and even interpret their meaning for later generations?

#5It would be great if this could result in a dedicated page with instructions and templates on how to successfully move through this kafkaesque absurdity. Thanks for the effort already.

That they have more than they say that they have (and are allowed to have) to the point where cleaning this up would be a serious engineering effort.
I say this in jest but at the same time I'm concerned this might be true.

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.

#8Thank you for fighting the good fight. This sort of nonsense is exactly the type of thing that needs to be reported far and wide. People need to understand that for all of Facebook’s PR dollars, they are still the same company as they were a few years ago.

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.

#10IMHO to support Ruben's cause, we should all request our data from Facebook. At least those of us who are eligible for that "privilege".
A hand full of people are just an annoyance and can be easily stalled. But to stall many more without running in legal trouble seems more difficult to me, and requires Facebook to actually invest some resources into it.
