HOW TO QUIT FACEBOOK

By Marta Lo Bracco


This is not another detox guide. This is the definitive guide on how to get rid of the now annoying facebook and live happily.


Follow the step for the current procedure to leave the Facebook social network:

First of all, the mother of salvation: the backup. You don’t want to lose all the information you throw out there for the past, help me say, 10 years?



How to get a backup of all your data
Step 1

Settings > Your Fb Information > Download your information




Step 2

Select file format, (HTML recommended) select Create File









Step 3

Select all the items in the list of information you are downloading











Step 3.2

Information about you > Information associated at you Facebook account, such as logins to Facebook, and what devices you use















Step 4

Download your information






















Now the painful part, the deletion. To be done once you receive your backup which will happen via email


Step 1

MANAGING YOUR INFORMATION




Step 2

I want to manage my data

https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation







You have the possibility to fill in this questionnaire, remember, to have the right of erasure does not mean you have to mandatory fill it in, but in care you want them to know, in the hope a human will still read these words, down below the sample to fill in





As per your privacy policy I want to exercise my right to opt out all my data and request access to and erasure of the personal data you hold about me.

I also withdraw my consent to process my personal data


When we process data that you provide to us based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time and to port that data you provide to us, under the GDPR. To exercise your rights, visit the Facebook settings and Instagram settings.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You also have the following rights:


to request access to, or erasure of, the personal data we hold about you

to request us to restrict the processing of the personal data we hold about you

to object to us processing personal data relating to you

where you have given us consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time

you have the right to obtain certain personal data from us in a format that can be transferred electronically to a third party (also called “data portability”).

---------------------------------------------------------------




















Step 3

Settings > deactivation and deletion

Go to your facebook information, the last row is Deactivation and Deletion







Here, if you haven’t done it yet, there is the possibility described in the first steps of this procedure, to have a backup and download a copy of your information



Here comes the hard part, you have to wait 30 days for it to be completely deleted. For the next month you’ll still have the possibility to jump back on the FB ride.
I’d suggest you not to get in there and act as if the deletion already happened, but you do whatever it’s right for you

THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERNET PRIVACY

By Marta Lo Bracco

Privacy and the Internet are two concepts we are used to. Together in the same sentence, they sound pretty odd recently, we feel we have been spied on and followed for a long time. And it is like waking up from a very nice dream: our safe space on the internet, where we were doing shopping enjoying the absence of the shopping assistant constantly checking on us “how can we help you?” Now has become the same even online and even worse, we get used to it without asking ourselves the right question: not why do we have to be followed, but HOW. Getting to know how the internet and the lack of privacy work together, will help us understand how we can make the internet a better, more secure place to be in. So what does Privacy mean? Depending on who you ask this question, but on a broader definition privacy is the right to be let alone. Given this fact and its many interpretations, it comes natural to think that it is one of our most natural rights: a person should be free to disclose as much

Contact tracing

By Marta Lo Bracco
What would it take to reopen countries during the COVID-19 global pandemic? The answer is Contact Tracing. Contract Tracing means to identify all people who carry the disease, to then monitor everyone they have been in contact with. This approach is one of the measures that need to go hand in hand with Social Distancing and self quarantine to effectively overcome this crisis. But how does this work in practice? Contact Tracing is something most countries are currently already doing - but all in analogic. This means that people are being tracked physically and contacted one-by-one by medical personnel to warn them to self quarantine or to get tested. This process, however, is highly inefficient, as it is very time consuming and requires a lot of human workforce. Most recent analyses highlight that the interview with the infected person alone might take up to 12 hours - and only then the tracking begins. As you can see, this process is rather slow and we are losing valuable time
