If you delete your account, doesn't it mean somebody else can register an account with the same name to impersonate you?
- mrweasel 8y agoCan't they do that anyway? I mean there's more than one John Smith in the world, there's nothing preventing all of them from having an account. What normally prevents impersonation is people checking if you have the same set of friends.
- Yizahi 8y agoYou can't complain to Facebook about impostor account if you aren't registered already. And deleting you profile won't delete you shadow profile that FB collects on everyone, so it is kinda pointless action anyway.
