This is a good example of an important document in aggregating deleted Facebook activity profiles.

For example, during both 2006 and 2009, Zuckerberg regularly operated on this social network, but currently, no longer his posts in 2007 and 2008 can be found anymore, they have been Clean 'clean'.

Facebook has made it harder to navigate the archives of old messages

In the end, there was a problem about accessing the archive of old posts on Facebook's blog.

In previous years, Facebook has owned a blog dedicated to posting and storing regular posts periodically, and they can navigate by month. However, in 2014, Facebook launched a newsroom called Newsroom - a new archive for important announcements, and at the same time the appearance of this application also broke public links. to many old blog posts.

Instead, to read a specific post, you must know the information about that post and search for keywords on Google, or scroll through thousands of Facebook page posts over the years to 'sneak' in the way. handmade as possible.

After the Business Insider news page made a comment, Facebook added a public "notes" tab to the Facebook page to access the old post (Facebook spokesperson said that the notes tab was available from 2014, but yes " "error appears that users cannot view."

Mark Zuckerberg tried to appease the users' backlash early on that the News Feed contained too much advertising information and affected privacy with a blog post called "Calm down. Breathe.
