I need to save a topic on Facebook. The page contains a very offensive topic, which the author has deleted, when he realized he could be prosecuted.
I tried:
- to save the tab, but I can't save it. When I press CTRL+S, it tries to save, but immediately cancels.
- "http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:" + "url of that facebook topic", but it results in an error message:
404. Thats an error.
The requested URL /search?q="MY FACEBOOK URL CONTAINING THE MENTIONED TOPIC"
was not found on this server.
That’s all we know.
How can I open a cached version of that page in order to save it for legal purposes?

The only correct way to retrieve any data from Facebook with respect to law activity is via https://www.facebook.com/safety/groups/law/guidelines/
Cached Google files should only work for Facebook pages that are logged out.
So only pages like
cache:facebook.comhttps://web.archive.org/web/*/facebook.comSpecifically after that, only public Facebook fan pages can retrieve data. Facebook personal profiles should not be showing feed posts logged out.
