I have a very old Facebook account i haven’t touched for no less than 10+ years. I had decided to just let it decay under the reasoning that old data is worse than useless to them, but now in light of Facebook announcing they’ll take it all to train for LLMs if you don’t opt out, i am unsure if to continue leaving that account to rot, or if to recover it, opt out, then doing the delete procedure. What would you say is the best choice?

Hey thanks for asking I had the same question !!
A solution I would like is an automated way to poison my old data and edit all my old post, change image and edit all my comments with something non related and totally false.
After some digging, their api is very limited and doesn’t allow such thing very easily. My programming skills beeing very limited I gave it a try with AI (yeah I know this is kinda “hypocrite” but we have to fight their empire with their own weapons…) and found out about a very cool tool you can selfhost and give instruction to execute this kind of operation in an automated way with AI !
It’s called browser use and it’s the open source alternative to ChatGPT operator. I haven’t tried it yet so I can’t give you any feedback but If that’s something you have the horse power for you can give it a try to slowely poison and edit all your facebook data without hitting their limit or their alert !
