Seems to me like that's what they were talking about with the 'last words'
- DTrejo 16y agoCan also make the account do spammy things or change to a fake name, which could speed the banning.
- JeremyBanks 16y agoYou have been able to actually delete an account for a while. It's described underneath deactivating on this page: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=13016 https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=13016
- lsc 16y ago"There was a problem reaching the FAQ you requested" I think you actually want http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=842 http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=842 and thanks, I didn't know about that. I'm going to go do that now; I 'deactivated' my account some time ago and facebook is still spamming me, and people are still trying to message me on facebook.
- mkjones 16y agoI work on security at FB, and I suspect if someone actually tried this, they'd run into a fair amount of friction. A bunch of accounts logging in from a new place and immediately changing emails / passwords is pretty suspicious. Even if they did get into the loser's account, I think we offer pretty good tools for the account owner to reclaim it even if the password or email have been changed.
