Bank accounts add huge amounts of value to my life. If my credit card is stolen and used fraudulently, I'm not going to revert to cash :) Twitter, and Linked In too, have not added any value. And so when they start to become the cause of security concerns I'm going to use them as an excuse to shut my accounts on them. It gets worse though, because I would bet that most people who do close their accounts on Twitter/Facebook/Linked In et al walk away thinking all of their data has been magically erased. I suspect that this is not the case, so the mere fact that you ever had an account on these platforms leaves you vulnerable to their security risks ad infinitum. That wouldn't be true of a bank.
