I remember the case in which one guy (I think he was Irish) did send that request to Facebook and got a over one thousand page long response.

Then, there was a shit ton of persons from Europe (like, dozens of thousands) who tried to do the same through a combined court order in Vienna. Then, the court in Vienna decided that this issue was "not admissible on procedural grounds". Then, those thousands of people got generic responses like: "You can download every data we store on you by going into your settings...". Then there was an appeal to that decision and then the whole thing died out.

I found the website that organized this: http://europe-v-facebook.org/EN/en.html
