[:it]Ripulire il proprio account Facebook[:en]Cleaning out our Facebook account[:]

[:it]

Cancellare il proprio account e' possibile ma con attenzione: se disattivate l'account, i vostri dati restano tutti li, quando riattiverete l'account li ritroverete ben conservati. Pare esista una opzione per cancellare l'account, tramite la quale tutto quanto viene cancellato. Cio' e' descritto in questa paginetta wikipedia.

Ovviamente, se non ci fidiamo (il pericolo e' ovviamente il data mining, cioe' l'uso e la raccolta di informazioni per scopi di qualsiasi tipo) possiamo procedere a cancellare a mano ogni nostra cosa, ogni singolo post, ogni messaggio privato, ogni immagine, etc.  E non ci passa piu'.

Magari, prima, possiamo fare un bel DOWNLOAD delle nostre informazioni: lo sapevate? OGNI COSA che avete messo su FB puo' essere da voi scaricata. Basta andare su "Account", "Account Settings", e selezionare "Download Your Informations". Bella cosa direi.

Torniamo a noi: cancellare ogni singolo post sul nostro wall.  NON CI PASSA PIU'. Peraltro, magari vogliamo anche cancellare i post dei nostri "amici" dal nostro wall. Tutto, insomma.

Cosi' ho scritto questo script per Imacros, un Plugin che esiste per Chrome come per Firefox (non so se c'e' per altri browser). Esso fa il vostro lavoro. Ha bisogno di aggiustamenti e fa schifo com'e' ora, ma in una decina di giorni e standogli dietro ha riportato il mio account al fatidico post "Gabriele has joined Facebook". Notevole, vero?

Eccovi lo script, senza garanzie di alcun tipo:

Deleting your Facebook account is carefully possible. Deactivating the account preserve all your data, while deleting it remove everything. This is described in  this wikipedia page.

If we don't trust FB, we can start cleaning out everything by hand: every post, every message, every image, everything on our Wall. FOREVER. A very slow task to do by hand.

We can also DOWNLOAD our informations: did you know that? Everything you put on FB can be downloaded! Just go to "Account", "Account Settings", and click on "Download Your Informations". That's great! 🙂

Back to the problem: deleting every single post on our wall. A FOREVER time task. Also we wanna remove also "friend's" posts.

So I wrote this script for Imacros, a plugin for Chrome, Firefox and maybe for other browsers. This can do the damn job. It need tuning because it's a mess right now, but in about 10 days and following it from time to time, it took me to the first "Gabriele has joined Facebook" post. Nice, isn't it? 😉

Here is it, without any warranty:
