Rather than fear being 'outed' by her uncle on Facebook whilst pregnant, she would have been better deactivating or 'deleting' her Facebook account. Nobody could have tagged her or posted anything on her wall, nor sent her private messages.
You don't dance with the devil if you intend to hide from him.
- Terr_ 13y agoFacebook already maintains placeholder "Ghost User Accounts" for possible future members, so I see no reason that they wouldn't continue to track associations with an inactive account too.

I believe that they logically delete everything, and then everything gets analysed and archived for posterity. As I was in the process of deleting my Facebook account last year I noted several bugs that suggested that the counts of checkins and photos did not tally with the things I had deleted. I.e. Everything. I have some screenshots somewhere on imgur I should dig out.
