It is better to NOT delete facebook, but spam your profile with other data and just leave it.

This, BTW, is the only way, last I checked, to at all obfuscate Zillow's listing photos of the inside of a house that you have since bought. No multi-delete.
Maybe, but that depends on facebook's ability to filter that data.. The filtering should be be easy for my inactive-for-10-years FB account that suddenly uploads a bunch of garbage data. Mixing in genuine data seems antithetical especially considering the garbage may be filtered out.
Ironically, this is a completely uncontroversial use case where AI excels.
And/or change friends to random spam accounts first, then unfriend your real friends.
