How to download a copy of everything Facebook knows about you

•   Facebook keeps a treasure trove of information on you, which goes all the way back to when you first started to use the social network.

•   You can download your own archive of this information if you want to see what Facebook knows, or if you want to leave the social network and take your history with you.

It preserved the conversations I had with an ex-- someone with whom I thought I had deleted my digital ties. It even recalled times I was "poked," a feature I had forgotten about.
