It is true for some users. Like many others, I have requested my data as suggested here-

http://europe-v-facebook.org/

And, like many others, they told me they couldn't handle my request on time, it may contain intellectual property, whatever- I haven't received my data. Unless they've really found a legit loophole by calling my data their IP, they are violating existing EU law right now.

Well if they can't abide by the law, then they are breaking the law. Make a complaint to the Irish Data Protection Commisioner: http://dataprotection.ie/
