Who actually requests their data back from Facebook if they deleted it? And why would that be Facebook's responsibility if you deleted it? At the very least it should give you the option to permanently delete it, too.
I think if normal people would really know that Facebook keeps their data even after they deleted it, they would get pretty freaked out about it, too.
- DanBC 15y agoI know a few people who turn their Facebook profile on and off. (Depending on how mentally stable and well they feel at the time.) So long as Facebook offers two options and makes it really clear - [this is our normal 'hide your profile'][This will really delete everything. No, really, are you sure?]
- hetman 15y agoThe two option solution is probably a good idea (perhaps naming it something like "destroy" because "delete" no longer has those kinds of connotation for many). However, I would suggest penalising people genuinely concerned about their privacy and completely leaving out the option of permanent deletion, only because some people aren't responsible enough to to be trusted with that decision, is not really acceptable.
