It uses the zip archive feature that they allow you to request and export so at least it doesn’t use a direct connection or API. I think there is also some EU rule or something about requiring it because Dansup was asking about filing a complaint because of the export format being convoluted or something, not sure of the details but hopefully that means there’s some legal weight to the export feature sticking around.
Yes the EU has the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which among other things gives users the right to request their data back from platforms.
It’s regulation with teeth since many of the tech multinationals have already had multi billion dollar fines. The fines can be up to 4% of global revenue.
Might want to start using this ASAP before F*ckbook/Instagram/Meta figures out how to block this
