#facebook 🤦‍♂️ When you dump your data prior to deleting your account, you get a nicely looking ZIP with JSON, JPG, MP4 etc.

I've started importing that into ElasticSearch so that all the valuable 10 years old arguments aren't lost etc etc.

This is a fragment of text in Polish taken from the dump (JSON-encoded Unicode):

nios\u00c4\u0085 za sob\u00c4\u0085

Comes out, Facebook screwed up character encodings in their internal representation 🤦‍♂️
