I am 3 seconds away from deleting my account, but before I do that I would like to know if fb actually deletes my account and everything I've generated on there. I have a feeling that they just insert a "deleted=True" in the database. In that case I don't want to delete my account, because I'm merely giving up my right to log in.
So, do they completely remove my account information, or do they just mark me deleted?
- a3_nm 15y agoThe information probably still exists somewhere. The best you can do is probably to stop using your account.

- justincormack 15y agoI presume you deleted it, but they do say they will delete it. I may try a data protection request to see if they have as I deleted my acount a long time back.
- jfoster 15y agoAre you deleting your account because of this? What you do with your account is for you to decide of course, but it shouldn't really come as a surprise that facebook has this data (they show it on the site) or that they would comply with a subpoena. The surprising bit for me is how much data is missing from this.
