Hey guys, I am trying to get rid of my old Facebook accounts. I have not been using them for years, in fact I dont know their login data and for one i dont even have access to the email address any more.
I am a EU citizen and attempted to instruct them to close the accounts per email, since logging in requires me to consent to them using my data or pay money (probably illegal here too).
They sent me a quick response basically to go fuck myself, even after I offered to provide personal identification to verify I am the account owner and reminded them that I am an EU citizen and that my data is subject to those laws.
How can i force these fuckers to comply with my request for deletion of the accounts and associated data?
I wouldn’t call Schrems “ordinary.”

Otherwise, if one has the means to file a lawsuit and see it through, a court might rule against Facebook. Normal people aren’t likely to have the resources to gamble on a favorable verdict.
