// 1. Go to Activity feed, like facebook.com/<username>/allactivity
// 2. Navigate to specific section of FB, like "Likes and Reactions" or "Comments",
// like https://www.facebook.com/<username>/allactivity?privacy_source=activity_log&log_filter=cluster_<clusterid>
// 3. Navigate to year that you want to batch delete. You may need to scroll a little bit to let it load
// 4. Once you enter this there's no going back!!
// deletes, hides, and unlikes posts all within a specific year (in options.year)

@mi-lee Hello :) I have tried all scripts but it's not working. I think it needs an update to the new Facebook, Could you please recheck the script? I just need interactions (post likes/comment likes) remover. Thanks in advance :)

@Meligy Hello :) the script you wrote is not working, could you please update it, just specific to the year (not specific to a date)? It gave me undefined result, as of a specific date too. Thanks!
