[EDIT] - I missed a key point, the author does say in the article that they deleted their account long ago. While I'm all for bashing Facebook when they do something nefarious, this seems more to do with someone else having the author's password and using their account at an inopportune time (during the FB account deletion process). As a refresher for all: - FB delete != FB deactivate - You can't log in (or let anyone else log in) for 2 weeks post FB delete through https://m.facebook.com/help/delete_account https://m.facebook.com/help/delete_account - The only way you can be sure they delete your info is if you're in the EU, where the government has stepped in appropriately. Facebook will very likely still know who you are, and have tons of information/"shadow profile" on you, because your friends will still post stuff there.
