What about those of us that actually deleted Facebook after the scandal? How are we supposed to check if our data was shared with CA if Facebook requires you to be logged in to check?

Similarly, some of those that never signed up have got Facebook storing data on them. Facebook knows what I look like, my email, birthdate and that’s just what I know. Would be interesting to see what’s there.
(FYI, they probably know your phone number and who you made phone calls to, when, and the durations for the last 5 years)
Hey Facebook, how about you notify people, not other way around?

If Facebook purged your information, how could they verify your identity? They don’t want to provide the ability to check if an arbitrary person was leaked, because that has its own privacy issues. So in this context I wonder what you expect them to do.
The cynic in me keeps wondering whether this is a genuine attempt at getting some transparency points or FB wants to more precisely analyze how many people actually care...

I can understand Facebook knowing what you look like from pictures of you other people upload and your email from others connecting their Gmail address books. How will they know your birth date though? (FYI, they probably know your phone number and who you made phone calls to, when, and the durations for the last 5 years)

Everyone who was impacted is getting a notification at the top of their feed. Looks like it isn't showing up for everyone immediately though, I first heard about it two days ago and I just saw it today.
Methinks they don't want to do that because lawyers.
