Facebook is over 20 years old as of Feb 2024, and nearly everyone has an account. A lot changes in 20 years, but your posts, comments, photos and tags can stick around forever.

Old Facebook content can impact your professional and personal life, or just cause embarrassment if rediscovered by the wrong person.

And if that wasn’t enough, your old content is probably being used to train Meta’s AI models.

If you’re a creator, public figure, or job seeker, your old Facebook posts are even more likely to resurface when you least expect them.

Why Should I Delete My Facebook Posts?

Your Digital Past Lives Forever on Facebook

Every status update, photo, and comment you’ve shared on Facebook remains searchable and accessible. Even posts from over a decade ago can resurface unexpectedly, potentially misrepresenting who you are today. With Facebook’s extensive data retention policies, your past content stays preserved long after you’ve moved on.

Professional Reputation and Career Impact

An estimated 70% of modern employers routinely conduct social media background checks during hiring processes. Your Facebook history and timeline can serves as a public record that recruiters, potential clients, and professional connections can access. Old posts that seemed harmless years ago could negatively impact your career opportunities or business relationships today.

Digital Privacy and Personal Security

Your Facebook history creates a detailed digital footprint containing sensitive personal information. Each post reveals patterns about your life, which may include:

• Historical location data
• Major life events
• Personal relationships and connections
• Political views and personal beliefs
• Daily habits and routines

This comprehensive data trail makes you, your family, and even your company vulnerable to identity theft, social engineering, and targeted manipulation attempts.

Data Collection and AI Training Concerns
Meta (formerly Facebook) continuously uses your historical content to:

• Train artificial intelligence models
• Build detailed user profiles
• Generate advertising revenue
• Enhance their algorithm development

Even deleted content may have already been used to train AI systems, making proactive content management essential.

The Solution? Wipe Your Facebook History.

Manually deleting your old posts and comments would take ages—why not do it in a few clicks with Redact.dev.
