Facebook took about 2 months back then for me, but this was shortly after the GDPR was enacted.
Issue is probably not the database query, but that it is a bunch of databases, and that they are not willing to assign more than a skeleton crew to these things, because they only cost them money and they wouldn’t do it if it were possible to deny it at all.
I’ve done data requests to Google to get all my YouTube and Google photos data in the past. Both took less than a few days, despite the latter covering over 100GB of data.
The former I did so I could get all my subscriptions into a third party client, the latter was so I could easily get all my photos with their metadata into an alternative hosting platform. These data request tools can be useful.
It took reddit a month (to the day IIRC) to send me my data as well (like everything I’d ever written on the site) when I requested all my info just before I left. Must be some law that says a month in it somewhere.
I selected the request to get advertisement related. Theb they sent a freaking email with a confirmation link. I decided to go through.
After selecting that, they say something like, “it should be completed in a month, but it can take more time because of high request volumes.”
Yeah a database query is going to take a month.
