Personally, I don't like where this is heading. I deactivated my account (can't delete it outright for some reason!) so I should no longer have a presence on facebook. However, this is not the case since I can log back in and my account is instantly re-activated. Whatever I shared on that site previously will always be there.
The privacy concerns are a serious problem and I think people need to critically look at this and decide if this is what they want their Internet experience to be going forward.

- tokenadult 17y agoI deactivated my account (can't delete it outright for some reason!) I haven't tried this myself, but here http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16929680703 http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16929680703 is supposedly advice on how to permanently delete a Facebook account. Maybe some HN participant will do the experiment and report back to us how it goes. I do know (from my son trying the experiment) that Facebook account deactivation is very rapidly reversible.
