I have my doubts about this feature. In the case of Russian bots, having access to their data is critical.

That’s assuming “delete“ actually removes the data from Facebook‘s servers rather than just hiding it from you and ignoring it for ad targeting.

Like it or not, the right to proper, permanent deletion is enshrined in GDPR.

Stuff can still be deleted, it just has to happen one item at a time (which is stupid and user hostile).
