Facebook tracks your private calls

Apparently they serve your archive up on some dialup link or something. I just noticed my archive is available (no email received though), and it's going to take an hour to download 255 MB. On a 1G fiber link.

I guess this kind of complies with the GDPR. Seems like FB probably has fast internet links somewhere.

It took me about 15 minutes to download my 2GB archive on a 30Mbps connection which seems normal to me.

As a counter-example, I requested mine about 20 minutes ago, received an e-mail confirming the request, received another e-mail 6 minutes later to say it was available for download, and the ~90MB download completed in under 10 seconds on my 150Mbps connection.

My archive was ready faster than I could log into my webmail and the massive 12kb archive downloaded in less than a second on the hotel internet.
