Give Me My Data

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Give Me My Data was a web application for Facebook users to export their Facebook data to reuse in data visualization, archives, or digital storytelling.[citation needed] Export data formats include comma-separated values (CSV), Extensible Markup Language (XML), and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)[citation needed] and graph drawing formats used in Graphviz and similar applications.

Owen Mundy launched the application in November 2009. In May 2010, The New York Times and other technology-oriented news outlets covered its use by Facebook subscribers to retrieve data lost during a Facebook interface update.[1][2][3] It has since received international coverage for its technology and as Internet art.[4][5][6][7] The application was discontinued in 2015 after being blocked by Facebook.
