Revive and delete all media, then delete the account. In practice, it likely doesn't mean much, but it does technically mean you sort of "deny further permissions" to use the data you left there. Again, IRL they'll use it anyway.
Also, don't leave an account associated with your name there to possibly get hacked years from now and abuse any connections you have.
Also an option if it's not tied to your name, revive it and sell it. Aged accounts can be worth about $50+ to sell to scammers.
Hmmm.
How about deleting old content and then filling the timeline with AI gibberish?
I don't have an account, and I'm not willing to create one just to do this, but it's a golden situation: use an account you're going to delete anyway to poison the well.
Nice idea, but it'll get flagged if you do too much going back in time.
And? Are they going to take away my birthday? OP is already consisting just purging everything; it's not like they have much they can do but lock him out. And if all he leaves being is AI garbage, I don't see the downside.
No, the account gets flagged as too many old changes, an indicator of being hacked. Suspended for 6 months is the usual FB policy.
