What happens to my data on the website when I revoke my permissions from google/Facebook ?

Iirc they're supposed to delete it, but whether they do depends on them.
FB doesn't delete any info - period. They seem to archive everything. For example, if you post a photo, then delete it, they still archive it. Delete to you is Archive to them. I have been doing small tests and this is what I have found.
Parent(s) are talking about the websites that get data from Facebook, not Facebook itself.
