The question of whether we'll be uploading our consciousness to a computer is no longer if. It's probably when. That's because these digital consciousnesses – our essences – will likely be the product of an AI's interpretation of ourselves. The breadcrumbs we'll leave across digital files, images, videos, audio recordings, and, of course, all that social media will be an ample resource to reconstruct you.

Which makes sense for an ERP software. Because you have financial related data linked to your name. It cannot be deleted or the books would be wrong. After some years it does get deleted because no it’s too expensive to not archive.

But for Facebook, I do not see the reasoning. But I trust them to find a loophole if there is one !
