hey miles here miles Becker calm and in
this video we're gonna discuss the
delete Facebook paradox now for a while
I've been concerned with the amount of
privacy that Facebook has been
encroaching on each and every one of our
lives and as a digital marketer I really
get a first-hand experience of how deep
Facebook goes with kind of the types of
data they give us as advertisers access
to and there's a little bit of a paradox
when it comes to the delete Facebook
idea and the paradox lies within the
network Facebook has done a great job at
building one of the like the largest
network ever created and as someone
who's been a digital nomad for several
years I've actually made built and
forged relationships through digital
marketing events and speaking
engagements and meeting new friends on
and really the one place that everyone
funnels back to is Facebook on the other
side I'm also an advertiser I do use and
manage certain groups and pages not to
mention advertising accounts which means
also Facebook pixels and the custom
conversions and everything that goes
with that so I still manage all that
from a business perspective so deleting
Facebook completely from my life was not
an option and that's exactly what you're
gonna learn here is what I chose to do
instead because I do think that there is
an option available for you if you're in
a similar position that you want to
limit the amount of creepy data that
Facebook is continuing to build on you
while still kind of having access to
some of the people you've been connected
with or some of the business tools that
your business is ultimately reliant on
for this phase why Facebook is still
kind of such a behemoth in the world so
I've got um three specific steps that I
took I'll give you a bonus fourth one
that's kind of fun and goofy at the end
and ultimately you're gonna learn about
a free software tool that was incredibly
valuable to me to help me actually
accomplish this goal because the process
of removing content and deleting
Facebook is very very very challenging
Facebook does not make it easy so what
really hit me recently was that I have
literally over the past since about 2014
for years I have published something to
the tune of three to five thousand posts
not to mention thousands upon thousands
of likes of engagements of comments on
other people's items what Facebook is
doing with all of this data is number
one they're running me through databases
there they're learning more fake facial
recognition they're learning how to
recognize me in other people's photos in
other people's areas I'm not a huge fan
of that I don't think that's something
that I necessarily need or want in my
life so that was one of the things I'm
after as well as Facebook is tracking
everything that I've liked and commented
on and Facebook's trying to build a
profile about me to really try to
understand Who I am so they can deliver
more kind of targeted advertising to me
but I'm in a position where I don't
actually want more targeted advertising
so one of the first things that I did
was I deleted all of Facebook's apps
from my devices so they're not able to
cross track cross-check cross-reference
the other data points they might be able
to get from my phone for example they're
not able to see my contacts in my phone
anymore they're not able to see the
location of my device I don't trust them
if they say that if I said that my
location is turned off I have zero trust
for Facebook that they're actually gonna
honor that and I expect Facebook if I
give them access to my device through
the Instagram app through the what is it
what's at the messenger app or through
the Facebook app itself
I assume Facebook is going to sneakily
creep into as much data as they can
possibly find even if it's outside of
their Terms of Service
am i a little paranoid in this world we
live in maybe but I think there's been
enough data points that Facebook is not
trustworthy with our app with our data
and that Facebook's going to steal as
much data as they can and ultimately
leak it breach it or let it out in other
ways it's really kind of creepy in the
description of this video I've actually
linked you to three different news
articles about some of the interesting
shady stuff that Facebook has been up to
for a while these are the kinds of
things that really got me to the point
of okay I'm deleting all of the apps
from my phone from my device but then
there was this whole body of kind of my
profile my life the things that I had at
one
I'm givin to Facebook that are out there
and there was no real way to get rid of
that so before we get into how to delete
that the other thing that I've done
recently is I've added the hide the
newsfeed plug-in to my browser so now
when I log in on Chrome I've got it so
it might be like kill FB newsfeed might
be the actual name or hide FB newsfeed
might be the name it's a Chrome browser
extension so anytime I load login to
Facebook from Chrome I actually don't
see a timeline so nothing pops up no ads
pop up nothing I also run a pop-up
blocker in my browser so it's been
fairly good at catching those ads but
when I just eliminate completely the
timeline completely there's no
distraction for me there's no
possibility of me getting caught in the
scroll trap I'm able to get in get to my
ads do whatever I needed to do or I just
remind myself when I loved it that like
there's nothing here oh yeah
that's because I don't want to be on
here so I leave from there it's kind of
a willpower check in some ways shapes
performs a lot of us have kind of
habituated the process of just popping
into Facebook to see what's going on and
so it's one of those stop checks we
could put in front of ourselves to make
sure that when we do go we kind of have
this aha moment of like wait a minute
I'm not I'm not wanting to be here this
isn't this is a productive time when
entrepreneur I need be doing I need to
be creating value for others not
consuming what other people are doing
then third I've deleted every single
post that I've ever put I've deleted
every single comment that I've ever put
on to Facebook on other people's stuff
or my own and then I've removed all of
the likes and hidden everything I can
hide from my timeline so if you go back
to my account now I added one new image
of myself that actually has a big delete
privacy bar across my face
that's kind of a way that I want to
share maybe a little bit more of the
idea of privacy matters for people
really that I think it's something that
a lot of people are willing to forgo
their personal privacy for access to the
network I don't think we should have to
forgo our personal privacy in order to
kind of get access to the network so
it's a little way to call attention is
maybe a little over the top didn't need
to do it but that's my quiet little fun
version of a protest on there as well
and that was kind of the other side of
being remaining on the platform is as a
somewhat of a public figure
have over 3,500 or 4,000 or so people
following me on Facebook there's a
possibility if I delete myself from
their ecosystem someone could kind of
come in and try to make a fake account
of me and potentially promote spammy
things and the only way that you're able
to report a fake profile on Facebook is
if you show them who the real profile is
so according to Facebook if you're not
there and someone puts up a fake account
about you there's actually no recourse
for you to say that this account is fake
it by default becomes the only real
account which is actually kind of a
really scary situation but it's a part
of goal of Facebook's goal to be the
Internet right they want to be the one
and all internet that some people is the
only internet that some people use is
Facebook and that's a part of their goal
is your Facebook ID is your actual ID
online and if you don't actually have
yours claimed someone else might claim
it and do some shady things that's a lot
less prevalent or less of a problem for
individuals who aren't building a
personal brand but that was a big thing
that I had to weigh on my shoulders
about like do I really want to delete my
entire account does that actually make
sense for me or is that potentially
giving someone the opportunity to do
something shady and that's really why I
wanted to maintain that account itself
so at this point if you go search for
miles Beckler and you find me you'll
find there's a big blue bar across my
face is my my icon there's nothing on my
timeline at all I'm currently going
through the process of removing groups
and the plug-in was the social book post
manager it's a free plugin for Chrome
and you actually you add it to Chrome
and then you just kind of click on it
and open and what it does is it's a
little bot that runs within Chrome and
you could say choose all year's choose
all months delete all posts and then it
has a speed rating it tries to run it at
four times speed but sometimes it gets
going too quick and it misses things I
had to run it overnight at half speed so
it went pretty slowly through each and
every one but ultimately we went back
starting at the most recent posts and
went back through 2018 then through 2017
and all the way back to the hip for my
whole history on Facebook deleting every
single post and then you rerun it for
the likes it
everything that you've ever liked and
then you rerun it to hide things from
your timeline they're still showing up
on your timeline when people tagged you
in things and other types of various
things that just when you friend people
etc they those are shown on your
timeline as well and it took me I would
say literally a full day roughly running
it in another browser still doing my
work still doing my emails still kind of
working on my content marketing etc but
always check them back into it making
sure it's running I think in total that
plugin had to run for me for somewhere
around 12 to 14 hours of non-stop
running I had to run it multiple times
through each of the settings for it to
go ahead and actually catch everything
and then they're still on the timeline
review some things that I've gone and
manually updated to remove completely
and at this point I have no real profile
there there's no image of me left on
Facebook there's no data points there's
no likes associated with Who I am
I'm removing the number of groups and
pages that I'm actually associated with
and I'm just thinning it out to where
there's nothing left now has date has
Facebook excuse me already kind of
captured all of the likes and have they
already rendered as many pictures of my
face as they can for facial recognition
of course they have right like I'm not
thinking or believing falsely that by
deleting all of my content they actually
remove it right like I know for a fact
they've got this stored in a database
that's how they roll I have just kind of
set today as the new relationship that
I've created with Facebook where I'm in
more control over what's going on and
I'm gonna maintain a lot more conscious
of an approach of what I give Facebook
what I use Facebook for because as I
travel right if I go down to Central
America if I head over to Asia or pop
into Europe or even up into Canada
there's there's certain people I'm gonna
want to bump into and the one place I
have access in connection to these
people is through Facebook so in that
sense it serves a purpose for me which
is why it still needs to be in my life
also I do run as an advertiser ads on
Facebook I'm not technically actually in
the process of running the ads I've got
a guy who does that for me full-time at
this point so I really actually haven't
had to log into my Facebook account to
look at my ads for a couple of months
now which is actually a huge blessing
it's giving me a bunch of free time to
work on my content
conversion calm membership program which
is out and doing really well right now
but ultimately I need to have access to
that obviously if anything happens to
that relationship with him if I need to
log in to debug anything I still need to
have access to my advertising account
there so that's the reasons why I kept
it going so if you're interested in kind
of analyzing your relationship with
Facebook I think the first thing to
think about is do you still have
Facebook Instagram and the messenger app
installed on your device if so just be
aware that they're collecting as much
information as they possibly can
I wouldn't expect them to stay within
their Terms of Service and then they're
constantly breaching that data right
there they're constantly accidentally
giving that up to whether it's for
voting manipulation whether it's just
random hacks that happen like this last
one thirty million people got hacked I
was one of the few that got hacked on
that that was kind of a straw that broke
the camel's back not only are they
consciously giving away our information
but they're letting it slip out of their
holes in their security as well which is
quite annoying so delete all of their
apps is really one of the first things
you can do the second thing I recommend
you do is removing the time line and
removing and adding an ad blocker to
your kind of system in general I think
it's good to run ad blockers I use the
you block origin and blocker on both
Chrome and Firefox it works really
really well but ultimately the hide your
newsfeed or it's kill your newsfeed or
hide your news if HB FB newsfeed plugin
for chrome works really really well you
log in and there's just no no feed there
um if you want to see what someone's up
to or go find someone to send a message
you just type their name in the search
bar you can still see what they're doing
but it just eliminates their algorithmic
based here's something to draw you into
the Facebook Timeline scroll suck and
then obviously their advertisements
which happen to show up really really
high up on the scroll feed now and then
third if you really want to go all in
and delete all of your content from
there the social book post manager
plug-in is free he's got like a little
donation request that pops up I'm gonna
send him like a $20 donation because
that tool did actually save me an insane
amount of time and it helped me get a
result that I wanted again you'll
probably need to run it multiple times
over set it up to run in a chrome window
and then don't fiddle with the window
let it just run I had to you know set it
up and then I wouldn't watched a movie
and
set it up and went to bed and let it run
through the night and that was how I was
able to get through it a couple of runs
through on that you can delete all the
posts you've created you can delete all
the likes that you've put out which is a
big data collection point for Facebook
right there and then you can kind of
remove anything from your timeline
that's been added by other people or
just kind of added by default from
Facebook that you don't necessarily want
on your timeline and what you end up
with is a squeaky-clean timeline I
manually went in and deleted all of my
pictures I manually deleted all of my
videos that I've added if you have
photos in an album it's actually really
quick to delete the album from the photo
like the entire album but if it's one of
your core whether it's your profile
account or your main pictures account
you have to delete those one at a time
and at this point I'm really kind of
happy with my newfound relationship with
Facebook that's just the way I wanted to
go about it and I felt like there were
more digital marketers and entrepreneurs
who feel like they need to access
Facebook for aspects of their business
or their network but yet don't want
Facebook to have all of this data and to
have all of our content there I've given
a lot of content to Facebook over the
years haven't been as privacy minded
back in 2014 and 2015 as I have been
over the last six months to year here so
this is my new approach and I thought
that would be helpful for you if you
enjoyed this video give me a thumbs up
here I definitely hope this has been
helpful in some way it's kind of a
random thing but that's what I do here
on the channel be sure to subscribe I've
got new videos coming out three times a
week Monday Wednesday Friday sometimes
Saturday but every week I get three new
videos out a lot about digital marketing
and a lot of tips on that and if you
have subscribed hit the bell to get the
updates as they come out any questions
about this hit me in the comments not
the chat I'm gonna eliminate the chat
here because this is done live I'm
testing out the idea of broadcasting my
daily videos live for you so I'm
ignoring the chat today but get at me in
the comments below the video if you have
a question or if you need a link or
anything like that and again there's
links in the description of the video
the link to the actual browser plug-in
that will delete all your content and
links to some of those articles about
Facebook of things I think are worthy of
understanding what's going on in the
world of Facebook
it's creepier than I realized as I went
down the rabbit
and that was kind of what really got me
to the point where I was ready to take
some sort of action so thank you very
much for your time if you enjoyed this
give me thumbs up and look forward to
catching you on the next video until
then be well
