I’d argue the data arcchive one can download are incomplete. One, it’s missing Likes.

Second, I never put my phone number in Facebook, but I know they have it, because at one time, it was pre-filled in the enable account recovery by phone-dialog.

So what you can export isn’t the full story. The question however is: how do you prove that and really ask for ALL data they have on you?



Are you sure it's not your browser auto-fill?


Yes, I’m sure, because I deactivated that and because they’ve shown me 2-3 different numbers over time for whatever reason.


Or just harvested out of a friends contacts who has the phone number and email address.


Exactly. My point is: FB has way more data about me than the download archive of my data contains/suggests.
