#232Similar, but OT: does anyone know of a script that will delete your tweets from before X date? There's tools that bulk delete, but I want to delete from before a certain date.
Jumbo App is easiest!
IIRC twitter's API doesn't allow you to bulk delete tweets from the outside. I've found that exporting all tweets, getting the IDs, and then deleting them in the browser using the twitter.com only browser API will allow you to delete tens of thousands of tweets with no rate limits. I did something similar here: https://github.com/kylehotchkiss/fakeblock but it's not documented well and Twitter's export file format actually tends to change on a somewhat regular basis.

#233Love this script! I'm trying to use it to wipe 10 years of Facebook dumbness. It can handle about a month's worth of posts before it crashes though. Is there any try/catch/repeat loops you could add to resolve this?
Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"class name","selector":"layerConfirm"}
Thanks for the great work! I was thinking Jumbo.app would implement something similar by now but I realize the problem was hard to solve because facebook doesn't let apps delete posts.

#234Sweet and Simple. I have the habit of writing complex scripts leaning of super clean code that deviates from the actual purpose. This is so clear. I could understand the code in 5 min...That means it's super simple. And looking at the votes it has received, it works!
Great work fellow programmer.

#235Facebook throttles me when I delete posts manually. So doing this automatically will only make it worse.
Hmm, I was catching this same issue while running this script today. Only in the chrome instance that Selenium opened though. Facebook was working at normal speed in my primary chrome instance.

I'm a user and fan of FF, I left chrome a while back now, but for one piece of one-off automation why couldn't you use Chrome?

For similar reasons, I doubt very much that they actually deleted everything they said they did. I know that they were backing up to tape and storing it at Iron Mountain years prior.
But someone has to pay that bill. If Facebook ever fails, I doubt that someone would keep data centers full of information around without getting paid.
They would sell it with their other assets.

Testifying in Congress absolutely carries legal ramifications. It's just pretty hard to pin it so I agree with the "difficult" sentiment. https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/11/is-zuckerberg-under-oath-c... John M Poindexter was one who was convicted of lying to Congress: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Poindexter#U.S._executive...
I agree that it is technically illegal, but if the most recent example of a conviction (that you can think of) was almost 30 years ago that tells you that it's effectively unenforced.
Does it? One conviction in 30 years is also consistent with the conclusion that not that many people get invited to give evidence to Congress, and the people that do tell the truth (or at least don't tell provable lies).

> I don't recall the last time (if ever) there have been legal ramifications for lying in front of Congress. It's one of the reasons Cohen is in prison, isn't it?
He lied to the FBI after a plea bargain which involved him telling them the truth. From memory, this all happened before his Congress testimony but it's definitely not related. It is illegal to lie to Congress (unrelated to whether you're under oath or not), but I can think of very few examples where there were real ramifications for it.
Cohen pleaded guilty to several charges [1], including some that alleged that he lied in a written statement sent to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on 28 August 2017, and then repeated those lies in his testimony to the Senate committee on 25 October 2017.

Michael Cohen was sentenced for exactly this [1] just a few months ago. [1] https://www.economist.com/united-states/2018/12/13/michael-c...
Yet James Clapper somehow got away with it. As do a lot of other people who have the same "political opinions" as Zuck.
