Bad source. This is not even the European ToS (it's VERY different) and the information listed on it isn't referenced like at all. It's like asking ChatGPT for an answer.

It's European law that your personal content gets deleted or completely deanonymized. The latter is in most cases obviously not possible with Facebook or Instagram posts.
