So someone is going to commit a crime, then clears history, asks FB to delete account. Police knocks at FB doors - FB is like "We don't have any information". How is that going to work with GDPR?

Surely there is going to be plenty of other leads they can look to for evidence?

Don't see how this edge case is worth permanent surveillance of everyone.

GDPR gives them 3 months to delete anything, so you better plan your coverup well in advance of a knock on the door [1].
