        I think something people are ignoring is the transparency here. I'm not defending Google or Facebook for collecting this data, but the fact that it is easily accessible by the user is a good thing. How many other services do people use that collect swaths of data, yet refuse...

        You'd have a lot more credibility about this if you stopped sending it from the world's worst invaders of privacy and murderers of critics.

        I see the way to download a copy but you stated copy. Can it be deleted? Such as a Facebook account deleted? Or is that never deleted? Damn. I need answers!

        You can download the copy but you will never remove the original data. Anything that we upload to internet it can’t be removed... shame I know! And you can delete permanently the account on Facebook it takes 14days. I already removed mine...

        Before my step dad died, he left me a voicemail on my phone and something happened and I lost voicemail. I went into the phone store, crying and the store clerk could not retrieve it, facebook and google has that voicemail stored somewhere? A**holes

        They 'just' logged the details (I.e time, date, duration, who to etc) of phone calls and messages, not the actual content.
