How to view a cached Facebook page

Question

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:

GOOGLE
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?

Answer 1

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.com
• https://web.archive.org/web/*/facebook.com

Specifically after that, only public Facebook fan pages can retrieve data. Facebook personal profiles should not be showing feed posts logged out.

Answer 2

You can try using an application that can view your cache files:
