BS. I 'deleted' my Facebook account years ago, but my GF still gets "Wish $first_name a happy $year-1900+$suffix birthday!" emails every January 1. The emails still include a thumbnail of the photo from my account.

Facebook doesn't delete shit. If you work at Facebook, you need to evaluate the ethical course of your life and career and reconsider the choices that led you to this place. There are other employers that pay almost as well and that don't treat 1984 like a mission statement.

Expect Yann LeCun to appear at any minute to say he is practically a saint for working at Facebook that he is doing it for the betterment of humanity and not for money since he could "earn much more at many other companies"

Yeah...OP is a shill. And "Facebook" on a resume isn't a positive for many of us.
